A Correct answer
Explanation

Typical Internet packets are around 1 kilobyte (1,024 bytes) in size, though they can vary. This size balances efficiency (avoiding too much overhead) with reliability (not losing too much data if a packet is lost). The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is typically 1500 bytes.
