You can read all the gory details yourself on IEEE's web site.

Nowadays, as the saying goes: no CS, no MA, and no CD.

What is 'CA' supposed to mean?

Apart from that, the questions are ill-posed, as none of them cover
material differences between "802.3" and "Ethernet" - both of these
largely overlapping topical areas encompass the same set of various
access methods, as far as I know.

For all practical purposes, "802.3" and "Ethernet" are used as synonyms.

As usual, it is not really possible to guess the _correct_ answers to your
homework problem set, because we don't know in which way the material has
been covered in the course you are taking. In this case, we do not know
what exact meaning "Ethernet" could have had in your course. Can you
clarify for us?

best regards
Patrick

Why do I smell homework questions?

I assume you mean 802.3, not 802.e (the keys are adjacent on a qwerty
keyboard).

Ethernet/802.3 uses 1-persistent CSMA, with collision detect (in
half-duplex mode).

Collision Avoidance, ala Apple's LocalTalk.

yes, I have IEEE 802.3 standard, but dont find exact protocol. I have
read in some books that it uses CSMA/CD 1 persistent.

For your information, it is not homework questions.
I like to study computer networks, and Im reading some books. Some of
these books tells 802.3 uses CSMA/CD 1 persistent , but Im not sure.

CSMA/CA is "Collision avoidance" used by 802.11 networks
