Answer: E

Explanation:

You can limit the bandwidth used by the broadband connection by configuring it as a metered network. A metered network is a network where data downloaded is ‘metered’(measured) and you are charged for the amount of data downloaded.

Setting a connection as metered prevents Windows from automatically using bandwidth in a number of ways including the following:

Disables automatic downloading of Windows updates: Windows won’t automatically download updates from Windows Update on metered Internet connections. You’ll get a “Download” button you can click whenever you want to install updates.

Disables automatic downloading of app updates: The Windows Store won’t automatically download updates for your installed “Store apps” on metered connections, either. Desktop apps like Chrome, Firefox, and others will continue updating themselves normally.

Tiles may not update: Microsoft says that the live tiles on your Start menu or Start screen “may” stop updating on a metered connection:
