While the phrase "data transmitted for a given amount of time" directly describes data rate or throughput, among the given options, bandwidth is the term that quantifies the capacity of a communication channel, indicating the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a unit of time. A larger bandwidth allows for a higher data rate.
Data transmitted for a given amount of time is called _____.
