________ satellites have the longest transmission delay.

A) GEO
B) LEO
C) MEO
D) VEO

Transmission Delay

Transmission delay is the time taken for a message to be transmitted from one point to another in a network, not including the time it takes for it to be propagated or processed.

GEO

Stands for Geographic Information System, a framework for gathering, managing, and analyzing data related to positions on Earth's surface.

LEO

Stands for Low Earth Orbit, which is an orbit relatively close to Earth's surface where satellites can provide communication or remote sensing services.

  • Recognize the qualities and applications of dissimilar satellite orbits, namely GEO, LEO, MEO, and VEO.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) satellites have the longest transmission delay because they are located much farther from the Earth (about 35,786 kilometers or 22,236 miles above the equator) compared to LEO (Low Earth Orbit) and MEO (Medium Earth Orbit) satellites. This greater distance increases the time it takes for signals to travel from the Earth to the satellite and back, resulting in a higher latency. VEO (Very Elliptical Orbit) is not a standard term used to classify satellite orbits, which leaves GEO as the correct answer for having the longest transmission delay.
