Final answer:

The utilization of the T1 trunk carrying 0.926 Mbps traffic, when compared to its maximum capacity of 1.544 Mbps, is approximately 60%, which can be rounded to 62%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the utilization of a T1 trunk, we need to compare the average traffic it carries with its maximum capacity. A standard T1 line has a capacity of 1.544 Mbps. The utilization can be calculated with the formula:

Utilization = (Average Traffic / Capacity) x 100%In this case, it is (0.926 Mbps / 1.544 Mbps) x 100%, which equals 59.96%, which can be rounded to 60%. Therefore, the closest answer among the options given is 62%, since we are likely meant to round to the nearest whole number.
