Wait, is the FCS the same as the CRC? I'm having flashbacks to my college crypto class. This is why I became a software engineer, not a network wizard.

I'm just going to eenie-meenie-miney-mo this one. Checksums are like my sixth sense - I can never quite keep track of them.

D seems like the obvious choice, but then again, who trusts the PHY header these days? I'll go with C to play it safe.

Hmm, I thought the FCS was just for the Frame Body. Guess I've been living in the Stone Age. Time to upgrade my networking knowledge.

The correct answer is C. The CRC is calculated over the PHY Header, MAC Header, and Frame Body. Gotta love those redundant checksums!
