Networking Fundamentals — Question 27

What are two characteristics of wired Ethernet network topology? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It uses network adapters physically encoded with an IP address
• B. It uses tokens to avoid collisions on the network
• C. It is typically employed using twisted pair of fiber optic media
• D. It can negotiate different transmission speeds

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Option A is correct because wired Ethernet networks use network adapters that have a unique IP address for identification. Option D is also correct as Ethernet can adjust to different transmission speeds. Options B and C are incorrect because Ethernet does not use tokens for collision avoidance; it uses CSMA/CD, and while it can utilize twisted pair or fiber optics, the statement in C is less specific than required.
