CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 14

A network administrator is installing a wireless network at a client's office. Which of the following IEEE 802.11 standards would be BEST to use for multiple simultaneous client access?

Answer options

• A. CDMA
• B. CSMA/CD
• C. CSMA/CA
• D. GSM

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, CSMA/CA, as it is specifically designed for wireless networks to allow multiple clients to access the medium without collisions. A (CDMA) and D (GSM) are cellular communication protocols, while B (CSMA/CD) is used in wired networks, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
