    Question

    Which stations can detect whether the channel is in use

    prior to transmitting?
    A Collision assumption Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Carrier sense Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Slotted time Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Single channel assumption Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Carrier sense is the correct answer because it refers to the ability of a station to detect whether the channel is in use before transmitting. This is an important feature in network communication to avoid collisions and ensure efficient transmission. By sensing the carrier or the presence of signals on the channel, the station can determine if it is clear to transmit data or if it needs to wait for the channel to become available.
