Correct Cat 6 can support 10Gbps but at a shorter distance than 6A so C would be the minimum

yes, it should be C as Cat 6 can support 10Gbps over 55 m (180 ft)

D is correct The minimum cable category that could be used to support a 10Gbps throughput is Cat 6a. Cat 6a cable is required with 10 Gigabit Ethernet for reliable performance with cable lengths up to 100 metres. However, lower-specification cables can often be successfully used, particularly with the shorter cable lengths required in a typical home123.

Selected Answer: C
Has to be C Although 6 and 6a both do 10GBs, the quiestion asks for MINIMUM and no length was stated. So therefore the answer must be C. If it has stated with a minimum length of 100m then it would have to be 6a because cat6 only supports 10GBs up to 55m. but that is not the question.

Selected Answer: D
To support a 10Gbps (10 Gigabits per second) throughput, the MINIMUM cable category that could be used is Cat 6a (Category 6a). Cat 6a cables are designed to handle 10Gbps Ethernet connections with reduced crosstalk and higher performance compared to lower categories

Selected Answer: C
Although Cat 6 and Cat 6a support a 10Gbps transfer rate the word " MINIMUM" indicates Cat6 cable with a max distance of 55m ( 180 ft ). Cat 6a has max transfer rate 10Gbps also but the max distance is 10m (328ft). So answer C might be the best choice

Emphasis on Minimum cable category. So the correct answer is Cat 6a.

Cat-6 cables can technically support speeds up to 10 Gbps Category 6a is the official standard and its increased bandwidth can be used to achieve 10-Gbps speeds on 10GBase-T networks at the standard 100-meter maximum cable length. I will choose Answer C

I thought both 6, and 6a can support 10GBPS?

Yes. Reread the question. The "MINIMUM cable category" would be Cat 6
