None of the options provided directly state how network latency can be used to determine the reliability of a network connection. However, if I were to select the most relevant statement from the options given, I would indicate that network latency can indirectly indicate reliability in the context of measuring performance.

Network latency can be indicative of reliability because consistent high latency might suggest congestion, potential packet loss, or other issues within the network. Conversely, low and stable latency usually suggests a reliable connection.

If I had to choose one response from the options you've given, "It can determine the speed of data transmission" could loosely relate to network reliability since higher latency can affect the perceived speed and performance of a connection, although it's not a perfect answer.

In summary, while none specifically highlight reliability as affected by latency, they hint at its implications for network performance.
