Explanation
Answer: C - A Load Balancer can be used to distribute data communications across multiple network connections.

Key Takeaway: A load balancer is a computing method that, if implemented and managed appropriately, increases reliability via redundancy. If load balancing is being implemented with multiple components, each component will typically have increased longevity with decreased overload exposure. Load balancing can take place via devices or components such as disk drives, CPUs, or entire computers, or it can be network links that allow for increased throughput of data communications.
