Select the correct answer using the code given below.
D.Neither 1 nor 2
C.Both 1 and 2
B.2 only
A.1 only
Correct Answer: Option D
VoLTE (Voice over Long-Term Evolution) enables voice calls over a 4G LTE network, instead of relying on 2G or 3G connections.
LTE is a standard for wireless broadband communication, commonly associated with 4G technology; it is not marketed as 3G.
VoLTE is not voice-only; it can also transmit data. It provides significantly more voice and data capacity compared to 3G UMTS and 2G GSM.
Statement 1 is incorrect. Statement 2 is incorrect. Hence, neither 1 nor 2 is correct.
