Explanation: The propagation delay is a function of the physical shape of the network and is not reduced. Transmission is directly reduced because of shorter responses, and queueing is indirectly reduced due to less load on the ingress port of the router connecting your organization to the Internet. End-to-end delay includes both transmission and queueing so it is also reduced.
