Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

This is a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) problem.

Given:

Message = 1001

Generator polynomial = x3+x+1

→ Binary divisor = 1011

Step 1: Append zeros

Since generator degree = 3, append 3 zeros:

Message = 1001 → 1001000

Step 2: Binary division (mod-2)

Divide 1001000 ÷ 1011

Remainder obtained = 110

Step 3: Final transmitted message

Append remainder to original message:

1001 + 110 = 1001110
