Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) relies on the ability of nodes to detect collisions on a shared medium. Coaxial cables, twisted pairs ,and optical fibers allow for effective carrier sensing and collision detection in shared environments. Therefore, radio waves are not readily suitable for CSMA operation.
