C 2,3 are true.

D  only 2 is true. Correct Option

Solution: (D)
Sol:  Ans is D
St 1: The minimum payload size is 46 bytes and maximum payload size is 1500 bytes.
St 2: Yes CRC used as an error control in 802.3 not the checksum.
St 3: The minimum frame size is 64 bytes without preamble. Including preamble it will be  64 +8 = 72.

Explanation:  1. Detects only single and double bit error.

                        2. Yes, only one bit change so hamming distance is only one.
                        3. True, To detect d errors the minimum Hamming distance needed is d+1.

                           Single parity-check codes can detect all single-bit errors.

                           So hamming distance will be d+1 =2

                         4. To detect errors d +1 code and to correct errors 2d+1 code

C 2 and 4 are true

D 1 and 4 are true
