The process of connecting the calling party to the card party without dedicated transport facilities is known as?

  1. Routing

  2. Transmission

  3. Connection

  4. Switching

The correct answer is: Switching

Switching is the process of connecting the calling party to the called party by establishing a temporary path between the two parties without requiring dedicated transport facilities. Routing is the process of selecting the path that data will take through a network. Transmission refers to the physical movement of data from one point to another. Connection is a general term that can refer to the establishment of any kind of link between devices. In this context, switching is the most accurate option because it specifically applies to the process described in the question.
