CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate — Question 90

A device detects two stations transmitting frames at the same time. This condition occurs after the first 64 bytes of the frame is received. Which interface counter increments?

Answer options

• A. runt
• B. collision
• C. late collision
• D. CRC

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, late collision, as this occurs when a collision is detected after the first 64 bytes of a frame have been transmitted. Option A, runt, refers to frames that are too small, while option B, collision, indicates a collision detected during the transmission, and option D, CRC, pertains to frame check sequence errors, not collisions.
