If an Ethernet cable is unplugged during data transmission, what type of error is most likely to occur?
ACarrier sense error
BChecksum error
CFrame alignment error
DCollision error
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Identify error types in Ethernet

    Carrier sense error occurs when the device cannot detect the carrier signal on the medium.

  2. Step 2: Effect of unplugged cable

    Unplugging the cable breaks the carrier signal, causing a carrier sense error.

  3. Final Answer:

    Carrier sense error -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Unplugged cable causes carrier sense error [OK]
Quick Trick: No cable means no carrier signal detected [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Confusing with collision errors
  • Assuming checksum errors
  • Mixing with frame alignment errors
