What device works at the Physical layer to amplify electrical signals between network segments?

A.
Switch

B.
Router

C.
Repeater

D.
Gateway

Repeaters are simple devices that help extend the network by
amplifying a signal so it can pass on to the next segment. Otherwise the signal
weakens (attenuation) and may not be decipherable by the receiving system.
