which of the following benefits?

Network segmentation provides which of the following benefits?

A.
Security through isolation

B.
Link aggregation

C.
Packet flooding through all ports

D.
High availability through redundancy

Explanation:
Network segmentation in computer networking is the act or profession of splitting a computer network into
subnetworks, each being a network segment. Advantages of such splitting are primarily for boosting
performance and improving security through isolation.
Advantages of network segmentation:
Improved security: Broadcasts will be contained to local network. Internal network structure will not be visible
from outside
Reduced congestion: Improved performance is achieved because on a segmented network there are fewer
hosts per subnetwork, thus minimizing local traffic
Containing network problems: Limiting the effect of local failures on other parts of network
