Which of the following is not a physical layer characteristic?

Message identifier priority

Bus voltage levels

Terminating resistance

Signal edge timing

  • A.Terminating resistance
  • B.Signal edge timing
  • C.Message identifier priority
  • D.Bus voltage levels

Answer: C

Identifier priority belongs to the protocol rather than to the electrical signalling. Voltages, termination and edge timing are all physical layer matters an oscilloscope can examine. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a summary, avoids the usual confusion. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision. The shared behaviour explains why these belong together and the differences explain why both exist.
