Which statement is true about collision domains?

Answer Options

A

All computers in the collision domain have the potential to have a frame collision.

B

All computers in the collision domain have the potential to receive layer 2 broadcast messages.

C

All computers in the collision domain have the potential to receive layer 3 broadcast messages.

D

All computers in the collision domain are set to 10 Mb/s full-duplex.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation

A collision domain is defined as a group of computers that can potentially have a frame collision. Adding switches that can negotiate full-duplex and forward/filter fixes these issues. The potential of receiving broadcast frames can increase the number of collisions. But broadcasts do not create collision domains (consider that unicast messages can also cause collisions). It is more common to see computers in collision domains set to 10 Mb/s half-duplex, not full-duplex.
