A.
CSMA/CD
Detailed Explanation
Correct Answer: CSMA/CD
- CSMA/CD stands for Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection.
- It was traditionally used in shared, half-duplex Ethernet networks.
- Devices listen to the medium before transmitting.
- If a collision occurs, devices stop transmitting and retry after a random backoff period.
- Modern switched full-duplex Ethernet does not use CSMA/CD.
