D Correct answer
Explanation

At 64 Kbps, a 40 KB page requires approximately 5 seconds to transfer (40 KB × 8 = 320 Kb; 320 Kb / 64 Kbps = 5 seconds), which exceeds the 2-second target. Web boosters like Citrix or NetScaler optimize content delivery through compression, caching, and protocol optimization, reducing bandwidth requirements and improving response times.
