Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • A repeater is an electron device that receives a signal retransmits it at a higher level or higher power or onto the other side of an obstruction, so that the signal can cover longer distances. Because repeaters work within the actual physical signal and do not attempt to interpret the data being transmitted, they operate on the physical layer, the first layer of the OSI model.
