priority ordering
B
CSMA/CD
C
token passing
D
CSMA/CA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What method is used to manage contention-based access on a wireless network? Explanation: Carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) is used with wireless networking technology to mediate media contention.

Detailed explanation-2: -CSMA/CA tries to reduce the frequency of these collisions and provide a plan at the same time on how to proceed if a collision does occur. The protocol is also important because the transmissions in the wireless networks cannot run in the same order (due to the technology used) as they would have done with a cable.

Detailed explanation-3: -A contention-based channel access (multiple access) protocol is a protocol where data packet collisions may occur. Examples of such protocols are: The Aloha protocol. Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA)
