Q

A group of systems that can have their data collide with one another is known as a ____________________.

(A) Broadcast domain

(B) VLAN

(C) Collision domain

(D) Multicast

A

C. Collision domain

A collision domain is an area of the network where one system can collide with another system. Each port on a network switch or bridge creates a separate collision domain, whereas all ports on a hub are part of the same collision domain.

17
