How is this possible?You should reverse 1 with 3 and 2 with 6.

Remember, this is an OLDER PC, so we'll assume 10/100, not gig. Only four wires used out of eight.

Another question that is is beyond the scope of any material I have studied. I'm currently looking through my text book and viewing Professor Messer's notes and I don't see how the answer could be D.

This question is weird because of the "older PC" part, so only 4 pins should be used. However, for traditional Crossover Cable for memorization, I think of these rules: 1) reverse 1/3 2) reverse 2&6 3) -3 brown (pin 7 -> pin 4 / pin 8 -> pin 5) 4) +3 blue (pin 4 -> pin 7 / pin 5 -> pin 8) Or T568A -> T568B

Answer is - B https://armantutorial.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/rj45-diagram.jpg

The correct answer is B. This is just half work to do for reverse a cable. 1----->3 and 2---->6

B is the correct answer. To connect two computers it is needful to use a crossover cable. https://helpdeskgeek.com/networking/connect-two-computers-using-a-crossover-cable/

The answer should be: B. Reverse the wires leading to pins 1 and 3 In straight cable connectivity is like as follows RJ45-1 Connected to RJ45-2 Pin1------------------------------------- Pin1 Pin2------------------------------------- Pin2 Pin3------------------------------------- Pin3 Pin4------------------------------------- Pin4 Pin5------------------------------------- Pin5 Pin6------------------------------------- Pin6 Pin7------------------------------------- Pin7 Pin8------------------------------------- Pin8 In cross cable connectivity is like as follows RJ45-1 Connected to RJ45-2 Pin1------------------------------------- Pin3 Pin2------------------------------------- Pin6 Pin3------------------------------------- Pin1 Pin4------------------------------------- Pin4 Pin5------------------------------------- Pin5 Pin6------------------------------------- Pin2 Pin7------------------------------------- Pin7 Pin8------------------------------------- Pin8

B is the right answer.

Cross-checking this question on other places confirms the answer is D when that clearly isn't the case. Is there even any guarantee that this question shows up on the exam when the answer listed here is not right?

I was looking at other websites as well. This should be 1 and 3. Pin 4, 5, 7 , and 8 does not change.

Great... So no one was able to find an explanation for this.

Quizlet says B

The correct answer is pin 1,2,3,6 should be reverse which is not in the multiple choice answers

B should be the correct answer as pin 4 5 7 8 won't change, either pin 1&3 or 2&6.

The answer to this question should be "B". Like radu and TT pointed out, to make a crossover cable you need to reverse the wires going to pin 1 and pin 3, and then reverse the wires going to pin 2 and pin 6. Since "B" is the only answer that matches one of these steps it should be "B".

On second thought, the answer should be A. It asks which pins you REVERSE. You have to reverse pin 1 so that it connects to pinout 3 and pin 2 so that it connects to pinout 6.
