IEEE has defined the specifications for a wired LAN, called ____, which covers the physical and data link layers.
A
IEEE802.5
B
IEEE802.7
C
IEEE802.6
D
IEEE802.3
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The IEEE 802.3 protocol standards define the physical layer and MAC sublayer of the data link layer of wired Ethernet. IEEE 802.3 uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) access at a variety of speeds over a variety of physical media. The IEEE 802.3 standard covers 10 Mbps Ethernet.

Detailed explanation-2: -IEEE 802 Protocol Layers Protocol Architecture Functions of physical layer: Encoding/decoding of signals Preamble generation/removal (for synchronization) Bit transmission/reception Includes specification of the transmission medium Protocol Architecture Functions of medium access control (MAC) layer.
