What are the advantages of a full-duplex transmission mode compared to half-duplex mode? (Select all that apply.)

In full-duplex mode, separate transmit and receive channels allow both endpoints to send and receive data simultaneously without waiting for the other to finish. This is the fundamental defining characteristic that differentiates full-duplex from half-duplex operation.

Because full-duplex uses dedicated, non-shared transmit and receive paths, there is no contention for a shared medium and therefore collisions cannot occur. This eliminates the need for any collision detection or recovery mechanism.

Backoff time is part of the CSMA/CD collision recovery process used in half-duplex Ethernet, not a characteristic or advantage of full-duplex mode.

Collision avoidance algorithms such as CSMA/CA are used in half-duplex and wireless environments; full-duplex transmission eliminates the need for collision avoidance entirely by removing shared-medium contention.
