Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Carrier-sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) technology was used in pioneer Ethernet to allow for local area networking. Carrier-sensing aids transmission while the collision detection feature recognizes interfering transmissions from other stations and signals a jam. This means that transmission of the frame must temporarily stop until the interfering signal is abated.

The advent of Ethernet Switches resulted in a displacement of the CSMA/CD functionality.
