How do switches work to deliver data more efficiently for all connected

devices?
OA. They use each device's MAC address to find the device that the
information is intended for.
OB. They follow the data they carry in two directions, allowing them to
carry full-duplex functionality.
OC. They use autosensing mechanisms to enable the network to
determine the best speed for each device.
OD. They follow Internet Protocol when breaking down the data being
transmitted.

The answer is OA.

A switch is a network device that forwards data packets between devices on a local area network (LAN). Switches work by using each device's MAC address to find the device that the information is intended for. This allows switches to deliver data more efficiently, as they only need to forward the data to the device that it is intended for.

For example, if a computer sends a data packet to a printer, the switch will look at the MAC address of the printer and forward the data packet to the port that the printer is connected to. This prevents the data packet from being sent to all of the devices on the LAN, which would waste bandwidth.

Switches are an important part of any LAN, as they help to improve the performance and efficiency of the network
