Which option lists the network cable specification commonly associated with 10BASE-2 in shorthand?

• A. Thicker (10 base 2)
• B. Thinner (10 base 2)
• C. Thinnet
• D. 10BASE-T

Answer: (B)

The key idea is how 10BASE-2 identifies its cable medium in a quick, descriptive way. 10BASE-2 uses thin coax compared with the thicker coax used by earlier standards (10BASE-5). In shorthand, you’d describe that coax as thinner, relative to the thicker option. So the descriptor “thinner (10 base 2)” fits the idea of a brief, qualitative label for the cable. The other options don’t fit as the shorthand term: “thicker” would point to the wrong medium, “thinnet” is the common product name rather than a shorthand descriptor, and “10BASE-T” refers to a different technology using twisted-pair rather than coax.
