What is the maximum speed of Thunderbolt 1?

40 Gbps
20 Gbps
10 Gbps
5 Gbps

The correct answer is: 10 Gbps

Thunderbolt 1 is capable of a maximum speed of 10 Gbps. This speed is significantly slower compared to other versions of Thunderbolt, such as Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 3, which have speeds of 20 Gbps and 40 Gbps, respectively. Option A, which states 40 Gbps, is incorrect because that is the maximum speed for Thunderbolt 3, not Thunderbolt 1. Option B, which states 20 Gbps, is incorrect because that is the maximum speed for Thunderbolt 2. Option D, which states 5 Gbps, is incorrect because that is the maximum speed for USB 3.0, not Thunderbolt 1. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
