Smart jack
B.
Demarcation point
C.

D.

i think the answer should be demarcation point
I agree… but all of these test sites have the same answer.
As its name implies, a demarc extension extends the demarcation point from its original location to another location within the building.
The demarc extension typically consists of a single wire bundle that attaches to the existing demarc and supplies a termination point to a different location.
You might need a demarc extension if your network occupies an upper floor of a building. The LEC will typically install the demarc into the MDF on the bottom floor, and you will need to install an extension to place the demarc into the IDF on your floor.
You are typically responsible for installing the demarc extension, or the LEC might do it for an additional charge.
I agree, the demarc should be extended.
