A. B. C. D.A.
Out of the given options, the IEEE 802.11 standard that would be best to use for multiple simultaneous client access is CSMA/CA.
The IEEE 802.11 standard is a set of specifications for implementing wireless local area network (WLAN) communication protocols. The standard defines various physical and data link layer protocols for wireless communication.
CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) are cellular network technologies used for mobile communication and are not related to WLANs.
CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is an outdated protocol that was used for wired Ethernet networks. It is not used in wireless networks because it is difficult to detect collisions in a wireless environment.
CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) is a protocol used in WLANs that allows multiple devices to access the network without collision. The protocol uses a process of request and response between the devices and the access point (AP) to ensure that only one device transmits data at a time. This helps to avoid collisions and ensures reliable communication.
In summary, CSMA/CA is the best IEEE 802.11 standard to use for multiple simultaneous client access in a wireless network.
