Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • An add/drop multiplexer can add signals coming from different sources in to a given path or remove a desired signal from a path and redirect it without de-multiplexing the entire signal. Instead of relying oil liming and bit positions, add/drop multiplexers use header information such as addresses and pointer to identify individual streams,
