omg taking this same test i was stuck on the same question i was too lazy to read the book sadly i cant really give you an answer to this question too complex the answer will be in chapter 5 of the cay

solution:

this situation is called an ip conflict.

data from a server is sent in small bits called packets. in an ip conflict, some packets will end up in one computer while some other packets will end up in another computer.
