Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Key idea: The question asks for the Ethernet mechanism that lets two connected devices agree on common link settings.
Parameters involved: speed, duplex mode, and flow-control capability.
Correct mechanism: auto negotiation under Ethernet/IEEE 802.3.
Why the other terms do not fit: pinging tests reachability, synchronization is a general timing concept, and autosense is not the standard term for negotiating all these link parameters.
Answer: Auto negotiation.
