Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct answer: 64 bytes (minimum) and 1518 bytes (maximum).
Minimum frame size calculation: 14 bytes header + 46 bytes minimum payload + 4 bytes Frame Check Sequence (FCS) = 64 bytes.
Maximum frame size calculation: 14 bytes header + 1500 bytes maximum payload + 4 bytes FCS = 1518 bytes.
Notes: The 8-byte preamble and Start Frame Delimiter (SFD) are not counted in the frame size. Jumbo frames can exceed 1518 bytes but are not part of the IEEE 802.3 standard for standard 10 Mbps Ethernet.
