In _________ data transmission mode, messages can be sent in both directions, but only in one direction at a time.
Show Hint
- Simplex
- Half-duplex
- Full-duplex
- Extended duplex
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
In half-duplex data transmission mode, communication occurs in both directions between devices, but only one device can send data at a time. This means that when one device is transmitting, the other must wait until the transmission is complete before responding.
Other transmission modes:
- Simplex: Data flows in only one direction.
- Full-duplex: Data flows simultaneously in both directions.
Half-duplex is commonly used in walkie-talkies and some network systems where bidirectional communication is necessary but simultaneous transmission is not possible.
