D.
CSMA / CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection)
Explanation:
Token passing occurs in Token Bus and Token Ring.
Incorrect Answers:B: Full duplex describes a transmission characteristic in which data can be transmitted in both
directs simultaneously. This is not an access method.
C: Ethernet uses CSMA / CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access / Collision Detection).
