Options:
- Option A: True
- Option B: False
- Option C:
- Option D:
Correct Answer:
Option B: False
Explanation:
Collision detection is a process that helps in detecting the collision/interference of two data packets in a network. Thus CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection) is method used for the same in LANs. Whereas CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Avoidance) is used for avoiding or preventing those collisions.
