Which of the following describes the differences between switches and hubs?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Switches operate at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model and make decisions based on MAC addresses. Hubs, on the other hand, operate at the physical layer (Layer 1) and simply repeat the signals they receive to all connected devices without any filtering or decision-making.

Aha, I've got this one! Switches and hubs are like the difference between a surgeon and a butcher. One is just a little more precise, you know?

Hmm, I'm pretty sure switches and hubs are just different types of kitchen appliances. I'll go with option B just to be safe.

Wait, are we supposed to know the difference between switches and hubs? I thought this was a test on how to turn a computer on and off.
