When uploading a photo from your camera to a social media site, which path best describes the likely journey of the data?

Explanation:
Data leaves your device by first going to the local network gateway (the router or controller) that manages your home network. That gateway then forwards the data to the modem, which connects you to your Internet Service Provider. From there the signal travels through the wider Internet via networks and routers, reaching the social media site's own ISP and finally the social media site’s server. The server sends the response back along the same path in reverse. This sequence correctly places the local router before the modem, shows the journey through your ISP and the Internet, and ends at the destination server. The other paths skip or misplace the local router/modem steps or imply a return path in the wrong direction, which doesn’t reflect how data typically moves from an end device to a server.
