Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

The Catalyst 5000 series switches use store-and-forward switching as their primary mode. In store-and-forward, the entire frame is received and checked for errors before forwarding, which ensures error-free transmission at the cost of some latency. Cut-through switching forwards frames before they're completely received and is not the default for these switches.
