Bandwidth-intensive apps are important to business processes, but they also strain network capabilities and resources. One strategy for regulating network use is to "prioritize traffic" which means:
A) Allocating network resources to users based on seniority in the organization
B) Data and apps that are time-delay sensitive, such as voice and video are given priority on the network
C) Giving priority to users who have faster computers to avoid bottlenecks
D) Restricting the use of apps, such as voice and video that disproportionally use network bandwidth, to certain times of the day when demand for network resources is low.

By prioritizing traffic, network administrators can ensure that these types of apps get the necessary bandwidth to work correctly.
