1,6,11. Physical-layer and Ethernet questions depend on media characteristics, interface counters, duplex behavior, and how frames are transmitted or errored on the link. Cisco CCNA 200-301 v1.1 includes this topic under Network Fundamentals, so the answer must be validated against normal Cisco device behavior and the operational wording of the scenario. The key is not simply recognizing a familiar acronym; it is identifying what the feature does, where it is configured, and what result it produces. The incorrect answers either describe a different medium, the wrong connector, or an error counter that would not increment for the condition described. In a real network, selecting the wrong option would either leave the feature nonfunctional, create a forwarding or security gap, or send troubleshooting in the wrong direction. The selected answer is the only one that matches the stated requirement and the way Cisco switching, routing, services, security, wireless, or automation functions are expected to operate. This is why the verified answer remains the best technical choice for the question.
