Answer:

D. infrared.

Step-by-step explanation:

Wireless technology for communication uses electromagnetic wave to transmit signals between location. It eliminates the need of cables for connecting network devices.

In previous wireless technology implementation, Infrared rays were used (in tv remotes), which needed to be in the line of sight to its destination.
