Your company has just expanded its office space, and you have been tasked with implementing an additional networking method for connecting legacy desktop computers in a new open-plan area. The computers are equipped with network interface cards (NICs) designed for use with Ethernet technology. To minimize collision domains and facilitate effective communication between these machines, which method would be employed by the NICs?
The NICs use CSMA/CD to manage data transmissions and avoid collisions.
The NICs implement a Token Ring passing method to prevent collisions.
The NICs adopt Carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) to detect the presence of other signals.
The network relies on a Demand Priority access method controlled by a central hub.
