Are we sure about the unpowered part? Seems weird.

Yup, single fiber can serve multiple endpoints!

Totally agree, it's a point-to-multipoint setup!

Wait, powered splitters? That sounds off.

PON uses unpowered splitters, right?

I'm a little confused by the difference between powered and unpowered optical splitters. I'll need to review my notes on network architectures to make sure I understand the distinction before answering this question.

Okay, I've got this. A passive optical network uses unpowered optical splitters to distribute the signal from a single fiber to multiple end-points. That matches option A, so I'm confident that's the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know it has something to do with optical networks, but I can't quite remember the details. I'll have to think this through carefully before selecting an answer.

I'm pretty sure this is asking about a passive optical network, which is a point-to-multipoint network architecture that uses unpowered optical splitters to serve multiple end-points from a single fiber. I'll go with option A.

I thought PONs were all about efficiency with unpowered splitters, so I’m leaning towards A, but I’m a bit confused about the terminology.

I feel like there was a question similar to this in our practice exam, but I can't recall if it was about point-to-point or point-to-multipoint.

I remember studying that passive optical networks use unpowered splitters, so I think option A is the right choice.

I think a PON is definitely a point-to-multipoint setup, but I'm not sure about the splitters being powered or unpowered.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between these options. I'll need to think carefully about the exact meaning of each term to select the right one.

I feel pretty good about this one. Option B seems to match the steps described in the question, and the other options don't seem to be addressing the same task. I'll double-check my answer, but I think I'm ready to move on to the next question.

This question seems straightforward - I think the answer is D. The app asking for family medical history that is not necessary for the individual's treatment would be an example of a decisional interference violation, where the app is collecting personal data beyond what is needed for its intended purpose.

I'm a little confused by the wording here. The countermeasures seem to be focused on ICMP packets and broadcast addresses, but I'm not sure if that definitively points to a Smurf attack. I might need to review my notes on different DoS attack types to be sure.
