Final answer:

Dial-up internet makes a phone line busy, DSL operates at a higher frequency than voice calls without making the line busy, Cable internet uses coaxial TV cables, and Mobile internet relies on cellular networks for connectivity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to match each internet connection type with its corresponding property. Here are the correct matches:

  • A) Dial-up - Makes your phone line "busy"

  • B) DSL - Uses a higher frequency band than voice calls

  • C) Cable internet - Uses coaxial television cables

  • D) Mobile internet - Uses the cellular network

Here's how they work:

  • Dial-up internet operates by connecting a computer to the internet via a telephone line, which makes the line busy while using the internet.

  • DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) uses the existing telephone lines without blocking voice calls because it operates at a higher frequency.

  • Cable internet provides internet access through the coaxial cables that are also used to deliver cable television service.

  • Mobile internet leverages the same cellular networks that cell phones use to provide wireless internet access.
