Which media access method requires that an end device send a notification across the media before sending data?

  • CSMA/CA​
  • CSMA/CD​
  • deterministic
  • token passing

Explanation: Using CSMA/CA as the media access control method, a device will examine the network media. If there is no carrier, the device sends a notification and, if no other device uses the media, it begins to send its data. This method differs from CSMA/CD, where a device will send data once it senses that the media is free, without sending a notification.
