How does CSMA/CD react to collisions?

A. All systems jam the network, and then all begin transmitting again.

B. Hosts involved in a collision send an RTS signal indicating a time frame in which to retransmit.

C. Hosts involved in the collision send a jamming signal and then run an algorithm before retransmitting.

D. Collisions do not occur on CSMA/CD.

Solution

C is correct. In CSMA/CD, systems involved in a collision send a jam signal to indicate a collision to all devices. They run a timer algorithm and allow them to retransmit at a random time interval.

A, B, and D are incorrect. A is incorrect because only systems involved in the collision send a jam signal. B is incorrect because RTS messages are sent on CSMA/CA, not CSMA/CD. D is incorrect because collisions do occur on CSMA/CD.
