Answer: A

Explanation:

For every 0 or 1 you want to send, DSSS generates a code representing that 0 or that 1. This code, also called symbol or chip, can be a sequence of up to 11 bits (this is called the Barker 11 code), and these 11 bits are sent in parallel over the 22 MHz channel. You can lose up to nine of these 11 bits due to interferences and still understand whether the code sent was supposed to represent a 0 or a 1.
