Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (csma/cd) to minimize collisions in the network, thereby increasing data transmission efficiency. place the following steps of its operation in the order in which they occur after a collision. a. all hosts have equal priority to transmit after the timers have expired.
b. each device on the ethernet segment stops transmitting for a short time until the timers expire.
c. the collision invokes a random backoff algorithm.
d. a jam signal informs all devices that a collision occurred.
