Answer: b. STP

Step-by-step explanation:

Twisted Pair Cables are best used for network cabling but are usually prone to EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) which affects the electrical circuit negatively.

The best way to negate this effect is to use Shielding which will help the cable continue to function normally. This is where the Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable comes in.

As the name implies, it comes with a shield and that shield is made out of metal which can enable it conduct the Electromagnetic Interference to the ground. The Shielding however makes it more expensive and in need of more care during installation.
