CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 459

Which of the following technologies is used when multiple Ethernet adapters work to increase speed and fault tolerance?

Answer options

• A. Clustering
• B. Load balancing
• C. Redundant circuits
• D. NIC teaming

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, NIC teaming, which combines multiple network interface cards to improve performance and provide redundancy. Options A (Clustering) and C (Redundant circuits) refer to different concepts not specifically related to Ethernet adapters, while B (Load balancing) typically involves distributing traffic across servers rather than directly addressing adapter performance.
