Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

Switches are devices that forward data based on MAC addresses. They create separate collision domains for each port, which reduces the chance of collisions on the network. However, if multiple switches are connected together without proper configuration, they can create broadcast storms, which are situations where broadcast frames are endlessly forwarded between switches, consuming network bandwidth and resources. Broadcast storms can be prevented by using protocols such as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), which eliminates loops in the network topology.
