Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Intermediary devices sit between the source and destination in a network communication path. These devices (like routers, switches, or proxies) forward or process traffic as it moves across the network, unlike endpoints which are the actual sources or destinations of the communication. Source and End refer to the communicating endpoints, while Transfer is not a standard networking device classification.
