Which term describes a person who owns or operates a telephone system and receives compensation from users of that system?

• A. Owner
• B. Communication Common Carrier
• C. Aggregate Amount
• D. Breac h of Computer Security

Answer: (B)

A communications common carrier is someone who provides a telephone or other public telecommunications service to the general public for a fee and is typically regulated. This description matches owning or operating a telephone system and receiving compensation from users—the service is offered to the public and paid for by those who use it. The other options don’t fit: an owner is just ownership without implying public service or compensation structure; aggregate amount is just a sum of money and not a service role; breach of computer security is a different legal concept entirely.
