Which of the following is the LARGEST MTU for a standard Ethernet frame?

A. B. C. D.C.
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest size of a data packet that can be transmitted over a particular network. For Ethernet, the MTU specifies the maximum size of an Ethernet frame.
Ethernet frames consist of several fields, including the Ethernet header, the data payload, and the frame check sequence (FCS). The Ethernet header contains information such as the source and destination MAC addresses, while the data payload contains the actual data being transmitted. The FCS is a checksum that is used to ensure the integrity of the data.
The MTU for a standard Ethernet frame is 1500 bytes, which includes the Ethernet header and FCS. This is often referred to as the maximum Ethernet frame size.
Option A (1452) is the maximum MTU for a PPPoE connection, which is commonly used for DSL and cable modem connections. This value takes into account the additional overhead required for the PPPoE protocol.
Option B (1492) is the maximum MTU for a PPPoE connection when using a VLAN tag, which adds additional overhead to the frame.
Option D (2304) is not a standard Ethernet frame size and is not a valid option.
Therefore, the correct answer is C (1500).
