First of all, I wouldn't post a question advertising it to be from the 350-001 test to a public newsgroup. It just seems like a bad idea.
I'm responding to the question based on the fact that I took the test a couple weeks ago and didn't see the question. I'm HOPING that the question is from your study material for the test.

In Frame relay there is a line hit or corrupt packet on the WAn, who > retransmits, should be the source router correct? Frame Relay includes a CRC to detect corrupted frames. The CRC is checked at the end router and is used to detect corrupted frames so that they can be dropped. Neither router will retransmit the frames, assuming of course that neither router is the source of the traffic. If one of the routers is sourcing the traffic, perhaps Telneting to the other router, then the routers would resend corrupted frames (actually the router would resend the IP packet, possibly resending multiple frames). But at this point the router is performing the role of a host. > > 2.)

There is no link-level ACK, resends are the responsibility of the upper-layer protocols on the sending host. > 3.)
