The correct solution for the network technician to install to provide Internet access to the small office without adding any cabling is A. DOCSIS modem.
DOCSIS stands for Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification, which is a standard used to transmit data over cable TV systems. A DOCSIS modem allows for Internet access through the same cable that is used for cable TV, thus eliminating the need for additional cabling.
A wireless router, option B, would allow devices to connect to the Internet wirelessly, but it would still require an Internet source, such as a modem or modem/router combination.
A DSL modem, option C, is used to provide Internet access through a telephone line, which is not mentioned as being available in the scenario.
An access point, option D, is used to extend the range of an existing wireless network and would not provide Internet access on its own.
Therefore, the DOCSIS modem, option A, is the correct solution to meet the requirements of providing Internet access to the small office without adding any cabling other than what is already in place.
