If the interface receives 16 consecutive collisions during frame transmission, then it gives up and the frame is dropped. This collision type is called Excessive Collision.
The retransmission algorithm helps to ensure that the packets do not retransmit at the same time. However, if the two devices retry at nearly the same time, packets can collide again; the process repeats until either the packets finally pass onto the network without collisions, or 16 consecutive collisions occur and the packets are discarded.
The exhibit indicates that collisions are occuring. Collisions result in runts (frames lower than 64 bytes). Therefore the correct answer is C. There is nothing in the exhibit to indicate that frames are dropped after 16 failed transmission attempts, only that there are a lot of collisions happening.
I see here that the maximum number of retries in the backoff algorithm is set to 16, so A may be the right answer
