Understand the Problem
The question is asking us to identify which system among the options listed (computer bus, telephone lines, leased lines, voice band modem) is capable of providing the highest data rate to an individual device. To approach this, we would compare the data rates associated with each system.

Leased lines
The final answer is leased lines.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is leased lines.
More Information
Leased lines are private networks offering dedicated high-speed connections, suitable for data-intensive tasks, unlike shared telephone lines or modems.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing leased lines with voice band modems; the latter is significantly slower due to usage of telephone line frequencies.
