UGC NET 2018 Paper 1 Question Paper (8-Jul-2018)
The correct answer is

(a),(b),(c),(d) and (e)

To determine which options denote internet hardware requirements, we need to understand the functions and roles of each listed component in internet and network communications:

  1. Hub: A hub is a basic networking device that connects multiple Ethernet devices, making them act as a single network segment. It is used to facilitate data transfer in a network.
  2. Bridge: A bridge is a device that connects different networks to work as a single network. It operates at the data link layer and is used for segmenting traffic, reducing collision domains.
  3. Router: A router is an essential device in networking which routes data packets between computer networks, directing data along the most efficient paths.
  4. Gateway: A gateway serves as a “gateway” between two networks, often involving different protocols. It is necessary for allowing data to flow between separate networks.
  5. Modem: A modem is a device that modulates and demodulates analog signals to encode and decode digital information for processing. It enables internet connectivity by communicating with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

All the listed options—Hub, Bridge, Router, Gateway, and Modem—are essential parts of internet hardware setups, each playing a specific role in ensuring network communication and internet connectivity.

Given these explanations, it becomes clear that the correct answer is option (a),(b),(c),(d) and (e), as all the listed items denote internet hardware requirements.
