Which method is traditionally used by Ethernet networks operating in half-duplex mode to detect transmission collisions?

Options

  • A. CSMA/CD
  • B. CSMA/CA
  • C. Token Passing
  • D. More than one of the above
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

A. CSMA/CD

Detailed Explanation

Explanation: CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is traditionally used in half-duplex Ethernet. Devices detect collisions during transmission and follow a backoff procedure before retransmitting. Modern full-duplex switched Ethernet does not use collision detection.
