Which list includes only the four I2N components?

• A. Ethernet router, Media converter, Video recorder, Power strip
• B. Ethernet router, Video camera, Solar panel, Battery
• C. Ethernet router, Media converter, Video recorder, Power strip
• D. Ethernet router, Media converter, Video recorder, USB drive

Answer: (A)

The idea here is to identify devices that actively support network infrastructure and its data flow. An Ethernet router directs traffic between networks, a media converter bridges different network media so devices can communicate, a video recorder provides a way to store or access video data over the network, and a power strip ensures reliable power to multiple network devices. Together these items form the set of components that directly enable networking functionality. The other sets mix items that don’t consistently act as network infrastructure—such as a camera or USB drive, or power-related items like solar panels and batteries that don’t interface with the network in normal operation—so they aren’t the correct collection of I2N components.
