Answer» RIGHT option is (b) Store and forward

Easy explanation: The packet SWITCH will not transmit the first bit to outbound link until it receives the ENTIRE packet. If the entire packet is not received and the time-out PERIOD expires, the packet switch will inform the sender to resend the part of packet or the entire packet based on the algorithm being used.
