The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Modem**: - A modem is a device that facilitates communication between digital devices over analog communication lines. The term "modem" is derived from two functions: modulation and demodulation. 2. **Definition of Modulation**: - Modulation is the process of converting a digital signal (which is in binary form) into an analog signal. This is necessary because analog signals can be transmitted over traditional communication lines (like telephone lines). 3. **Definition of Demodulation**: - Demodulation is the reverse process, where the analog signal received is converted back into a digital signal. This allows the digital device to interpret the information correctly. 4. **Functions of a Modem**: - Therefore, a modem serves two primary functions: - **Converting digital signals to analog signals** (modulation). - **Converting analog signals to digital signals** (demodulation). 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the definitions and functions, we can conclude that a modem is used for both converting digital signals to analog signals and converting analog signals to digital signals. ### Final Answer: A modem is a device used for converting digital signals to analog signals and converting analog signals to digital signals.
