• A. IEEE 802 family of standards chosen
  The IEEE 802 family of standards is a collection of networking specifications that define the physical and data link layers for local and metropolitan area networks, including widely used technologies such as Ethernet and Wi‑Fi.
• B. IEEE 802.1D MAC bridging standard
  The IEEE 802.1D MAC bridging standard is a networking specification that defines how Ethernet bridges and switches forward frames and prevent loops in local area networks, including the original Spanning Tree Protocol.
• C. IEEE 802.3 Clause 28
  IEEE 802.3 Clause 28 is the section of the Ethernet standard that defines the Auto-Negotiation mechanism used by twisted-pair Ethernet PHYs to automatically select link parameters such as speed and duplex.
• D. IEEE 802.1 standards family
  The IEEE 802.1 standards family is a collection of IEEE networking standards that define higher-layer LAN protocols for bridging, network management, security, and time-sensitive networking over IEEE 802-based networks.
• E. IEEE 802.1AE MACsec standard
  The IEEE 802.1AE MACsec standard is a network security protocol that provides data confidentiality, integrity, and origin authenticity for Ethernet traffic at the media access control (MAC) layer.
• F. None of above.
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
