How many bytes are in a frame?

  1. 1500 bytes

  2. 1500 bits

  3. 1200 bytes

  4. 1024 bytes

The correct answer is: 1500 bits

Frames are data packets transmitted on a network, and their size can vary depending on the type of network. The size of a frame is measured in bytes, with the average frame size being around 1500 bytes. So, option A and C are incorrect as they mention 1500 bytes, which is the average size and not a definitive number. Option D mentions the common size of 1024 bytes, which is incorrect for frames. The correct answer, B, is the closest in terms of size as it mentions 1500 bits, which is a more accurate term for the average frame size. Therefore, it is the correct answer for this question.
