iSCSI supports a Gigabit Ethernet interface at the physical layer.
C.
iSCSI is generally slower than Fibre Channel because it must contend with latencies inherent in Ethernet networks.
D.
iSCSI uses the 68-pin connector that was introduced with Ultra Wide SCSI.
Explanation:
iSCSI uses a Gigabit Ethernet interface at the physical layer and thus uses Cat5e and Cat6 cable with RJ-45 connectors.
