Modern wired networks use a network switch to eliminate collisions. By connecting each device directly to a port on the switch, either each port on a switch becomes its own collision domain (in the case of half duplex links) or the possibility of collisions is eliminated entirely in the case of full duplex links.
All devices attached to the network are shown. How many collision domains are present in this network?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 6
D. 9
E. 15
