Multiple Choice

A unicast is sent from a single sender to multiple receivers.

Unicast is one-to-one communication: a packet is sent from a single sender to a single receiver. That means it isn’t intended for multiple receivers in one transmission. To reach many receivers at once, networks use multicast (one sender to a group of receivers) or broadcast (one sender to all devices on the network). If you send to multiple recipients, you’d either use multicast or send several unicast packets, one to each receiver, but a single unicast packet isn’t directed to multiple receivers. So the statement is not correct.
