B Correct answer
Explanation

A Direct-To-SMSC gateway connects directly to the mobile carrier's SMSC (Short Message Service Center) via protocols like SMPP, UCP/EMI, or CIMD. It doesn't have its own GSM modem. This enables applications, email systems, and web services to send SMS by routing through the carrier's infrastructure. Direct-To-Mobile gateways have built-in GSM modems.
