Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
In Multiple Access Protocol, different protocols are used depending on whether the network is wired or wireless.
CSMA/CD (Collision Detection) → used in wired Ethernet networks
CSMA/CA (Collision Avoidance) → used in wireless networks (Wi-Fi)
Wired networks can detect collisions directly, but wireless networks cannot easily detect them, so they use avoidance instead.
