Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Answer: A — 1000010111 and Differential Manchester.

Reason (brief):

  • In (a) each bit shows a mid-bit transition: high→low = 1, low→high = 0. Reading pairs of half-intervals gives 1000010111.

  • In (b) every bit also has a mid-bit transition (characteristic of Manchester variants). Checking start-of-bit transitions shows the differential rule (transition at bit start ⇒ 0, no transition ⇒ 1), which reproduces the same bitstream. Hence (b) is Differential Manchester.
