C Correct answer
Explanation

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a broadband wireless technology designed to provide non-line-of-sight connectivity with speeds comparable to DSL. Unlike Wi-Fi which is short-range, or Satellite which has high latency, WiMAX offers metropolitan-area coverage with DSL-like speeds. Metro Ethernet requires physical cables, not a wireless solution.
