1. Facilitating telecommunications continuity by providing redundant combinations of local carrier T-1 lines, microwaves and/or coaxial cables to access the local communication loop is:
A. last-mile circuit protection.
B. long-haul network diversity.
C. diverse routing.
D. alternative routing.

Answer: A
The method of providing telecommunication continuity through the use of many recovery facilities, providing redundant combinations of local carrier T-1s, microwave and/or coaxial cable to access the local communication loop in the event of a disaster, is called last-mile circuit protection.
Providing diverse longdistance network availability utilizing T-1 circuits among major long-distance carriers is called long-haul network diversity. This ensures long-distance access should any one carrier experience a network failure.
The method of routing traffic through split-cable facilities or duplicate-cable facilities is called diverse routing.
Alternative routing is the method of routing information via an alternative medium, such as copper cable or fiber optics.
