    B.
    80,000 B frame

    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    At 8 Mbps, a station can transmit 80,000 bits or 10,000 bytes in 10 msec. This is an upper bound on frame length. From this amount, some overhead must be subtracted, giving a slightly lower limit for the data portion. Therefore, 10,000 B frame is the correct answer.
