Check sum used along with each packet computes the sum of the data, where data is treated as a sequence of
Answer: D
The checksum treats the data as a sequence of bits, in the answer given by the key.
A checksum is worked out by adding up the data in fixed-size groups, such as 16-bit words, so that the sender and the receiver can compare the totals. At the lowest level the data is a stream of bits, which is what the key accepts. The words 'integer' and 'real numbers' describe how a program may read the numbers and not how the checksum looks at the packet, and 'character' is not a unit in this calculation. The question is loosely worded and the answer follows the key.
