Selected Answer: C
Installation of a cable modem follows the same general principles as for a DSL modem. The cable modem is interfaced to the local router via an RJ45 port and with the access provider's network by a short segment of coax terminated using threaded F-type connectors. More coax then links all the premises in a street with a cable modem termination system (CMTS), which forwards data traffic via the fiber backbone to the ISP's point of presence and from there to the internet. Might have to read the question carefully. "connecting a cable modem TO a SOHO router" Coaxial line is only to DSL to modem. The cable from modem to router is RJ45 (Ethernet) cable

D. Coaxial When connecting a cable modem to a SOHO (Small Office/Home Office) router, the appropriate cable is typically a coaxial cable. Cable modems commonly use coaxial cables to connect to the cable service provider's network. The connection between the cable modem and the SOHO router is usually made using an Ethernet cable, but the initial connection from the cable modem to the cable network is typically done with a coaxial cable.

While some cable modems may have coaxial connections (Option D) for receiving the cable TV signal from the service provider, the connection between the "modem and the router", which handles internet distribution, is typically done using Ethernet. Therefore, Ethernet (Option C) is the better option in this context of this question.
