Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key insight: Mobile Adhoc Networks (MANETs) are decentralized, consist of mobile nodes, and have dynamic network topology.
Self-Organizing and decentralized: True. MANETs form networks without pre-existing infrastructure; nodes organize and manage routing collaboratively.
High Mobility of nodes: True. Nodes may move frequently, causing frequent changes in connectivity.
Requires fixed Infrastructure for operation: False. MANETs are designed to operate without fixed infrastructure such as base stations or access points.
Network Topology is dynamic and constantly changing: True. Mobility of nodes leads to frequent topology changes which routing protocols must handle.
It requires a central controller to manage network traffic: False. MANETs are decentralized and do not depend on a central controller.
Conclusion: The correct set of statements describing MANETs are the ones stating that the network is self-organizing and decentralized, that nodes have high mobility, and that the network topology is dynamic and constantly changing.
