The CSMA/CD algorithm used in the IEEE 802.3 standard is 1-persistent CSMA/CD, where the station waits for the channel to be idle and transmits immediately if the channel is free. If the channel is busy, it waits for a random amount of time and repeats the process. Nonpersistent and p-persistent CSMA/CD are variants of the algorithm used in other standards. ALOHA is a separate MAC protocol that uses a different approach. Therefore, the best choice is C - 1-persistent.
