Cat 6
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

In this scenario, running a network cable over a long distance (279ft or 85m) and sharing conduit with a large power cable requires careful consideration of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and the physical distance limitations of the cable type. Fiber optic cables are immune to electromagnetic interference and can support much longer distances than copper-based cables like Cat 5e or Cat 6 without signal degradation. This makes fiber optic the most appropriate choice for this project.
