Final answer:

Dial-up is the correct answer as it is not a type of broadband Internet connection, unlike cable, DSL, and satellite, which are forms of broadband.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of broadband Internet connection that is NOT correct in the list provided is C. dial-up. Broadband refers to high-speed Internet services that are always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as:

  • Cable - Uses cable television networks.
  • DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - Uses telephone lines.
  • Satellite - Internet data is transferred via satellites.

Dial-up is not considered a broadband connection as it uses a standard phone line to connect to the Internet and is much slower than the broadband alternatives listed.
