Which of the following statement is False?

1. APacket switching leads to better utilization of bandwidth resources than circuit switching.
2. BPacket switching results in less variation in the delay than circuit switching.
3. CPacket switching sender and receiver can use any bit rate, format or framing method unlike circuit switching.
4. DPacket switching can lead to reordering unlike circuit switching.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B. Packet switching results in less variation in the delay than circuit switching.

Explanation

Packet switching has more variable delay (queuing), not less, so B is false. It uses bandwidth better, allows any rate or format, and can reorder packets.
