Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 802.11n standard supports the highest data transfer rates and provides greater range and reliability than the other options. It can operate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, which means it can provide better coverage in the office. It also supports MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology which increases the data transmission rate by utilizing multiple antennas. Therefore, 802.11n is the best choice for Steve's requirements.
