  1. A & E are correct. C might also a valid answer.

    Leased lines have existed since the early 1950s; for this reason, they are referred to by different names such as leased circuits, serial link, serial line, point-to-point link, and T1/E1 or T3/E3 lines

    The term leased line refers to the fact that the organization pays a monthly lease fee to a service provider to use the line. Leased lines are available in different capacities and are generally priced based on the bandwidth required and the distance between the two connected points.

    1. Point-to-point links are generally the most expensive type of WAN access. The cost of leased-line solutions can become significant when they are used to connect D) many sites over E) increasing distances. In addition, each endpoint requires an interface on the router, which increases equipment costs.

    1. I Guess it depends on whether there has been an agreed amount of bandwidth in a deal, or its more of a ‘pay as you go’ system where the business would pay depending on how much they used. Although I agree, it would more likely be CE than AE
