A T3 connection, which offers high-speed network bandwidth (44.736 Mbps), is suitable for connecting locations over long distances. This makes it appropriate for linking a main campus to a large satellite campus, where the distance would benefit from the high-speed capacity of a T3 connection. For server-to-network connections within a main campus server room, higher-speed Ethernet (such as 1Gbps or higher) would be more common. Connections within a computer lab or from a library laptop to the Internet do not require the bandwidth or speed of a T3 line.
This is no longer correct. CAT5e is more common, and cheaper nowadays.
T3 is a DS3. A ds3 is 28 T1's. You would not use cat5e for a large area!
A. Server to network in the main campus server room
I would suggest B. The main campus server room would use Ethernet of some form (likely 1Gbps), while the large satellite campus would us a T3 because of it's high speed over a distance (i.e. more than 100m).
