Explanation of Solution

Communication media:

  • Communication media refers to delivering and receiving data or information.
  • Transmission and storage tools or channels for data storage and transmission fall under telecommunication.
  • The transmission media can be divided into two categories guided transmission media and wireless transmission media.
  • The communications signals are guided along a solid medium in the guide transmission media. For example, twisted-pair wire, fiber-optic cable, coaxial cable.
  • The telecommunication signal is broadcast over airwaves in the wireless transmission media. The major technologies include microwave, infrared and radio.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Infrared and microwave

The infrared and microwave are the example of the wireless telecommunication media.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Fiber optic and cable

The fiber optic and cable are the example of the guided telecommunication media.

Hence, the option “B” is wrong.

Packet switching and circuit switching

Packet switching and circuit switching are not the categories of communication media.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Please answer JAVA OOP problem below: You are working at a university that tracks students. Each student is identified by their name and faculty advisor. Each faculty advisor is identified by their name, department, and maximum number of students they can advise. Using solid OO design principles, create a modular program that implements all the classes for the problem and also creates an implementation class that gathers user input for one student and then prints out the information gathered by creating the appropriate data definition and implementation classes. All data must be validated.    I have given the code so far: Implementation: import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class Implementation {     public static void main(String[] args) {         FacultyAdvisor facultyAdvisor = new FacultyAdvisor("Sharmin Sultana", "IT", 30);         Student student = new Student("John", facultyAdvisor);         JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, student.toString());     } }   Student: public…
