The correct answer is (A), (C) and (D) Only 

EXPLANATION:

The CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) channel sensing methods are:

  • 1-persistent CSMA: The station continuously senses the carrier, and if the channel is idle, it sends the frame immediately with a probability of 1 (i.e., persistence value of 1). If the channel is busy, the station waits until it becomes idle.
  • p-persistent CSMA: The station senses the channel, and if it is idle, it sends the frame with a probability p (0 < p ≤ 1). If the channel is busy or the frame is not sent, it waits for a certain period and tries again.
  • 0-persistent CSMA: The station senses the channel, and if it is idle, it sends the frame immediately with a probability of 0. This means it does not persistently check the channel if busy but waits a random period before retrying.

Therefore, the correct answer is (A), (C), and (D) Only.
