When using the parity bit method, how does the receiver determine if an error has occurred during transmission?
Answer: D. By comparing the number of ones with the parity bit — In the parity bit method, the sender adds an extra bit to make the total number of 1s either even (even parity) or odd (odd parity). The receiver checks this…
