Which term describes multiple copies of the same data from different LAN segments?

• A. Multiple Frame Copies
• B. Broadcast Storm
• C. Collision
• D. Fragmentation

Answer: (A)

This question is about how frames move between LAN segments and why duplicates can appear across those segments. When a frame is broadcast or its destination MAC is unknown, switches forward that frame to multiple ports and, in networks with several segments connected together, the data can end up on more than one segment. This results in multiple copies of the same data existing on different parts of the network, which is what this term describes.

Multiple frame copies captures that idea: the same piece of data showing up on several LAN segments because forwarding rules cause the frame to be replicated across segments. The other terms describe different issues or behaviors: a broadcast storm is an excessive, often looping flood of broadcast frames that overwhelms the network; a collision happens when two devices transmit at the same time on a shared medium; fragmentation is breaking a large frame into smaller pieces.
