D Correct answer
Explanation

Circuit switching networks are expensive, reliable (no loss), faster in data transmission. Expensive because of end to end connection channel route is dedicated to the communication. Faster as no third party user uses the dedicated channel. Hence, faster. No information is lost hence ensures reliable. Example: Telephone communication.
