  1. Answer could be either B. CRC errors or D. Late Collisions

    Descriptions: Cisco IOS sh interfaces counter. The number of times a collision occurred before the interface transmitted a frame to the media successfully. Common Causes: Collisions are normal for interfaces configured as half duplex but must not be seen on full duplex interfaces. If collisions increase dramatically, this points to a highly utilized link or possibly a duplex mismatch with the attached device.

    CRC Description: Cisco IOS sh interfaces counter. This increments when the CRC generated by the originating LAN station or far-end device does not match the checksum calculated from the data received. Common Causes: This usually indicates noise or transmission problems on the LAN interface or the LAN itself. A high number of CRCs is usually the result of collisions but can also indicate a physical issue (such as cabling, bad interface or NIC) or a duplex mismatch

    1. late collisions happen because of long cable length causing delay in transmission hence causing collisions in a half duplex setup not because of a mismatch
