C Correct answer
Explanation

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a broadband wireless technology designed for long-range, non-line-of-sight operation. Unlike Wi-Fi which is short-range, WiMAX can cover several kilometers and doesn't require line-of-sight between antenna and receiver, making it suitable for last-mile broadband replacement for DSL.
