Correct Answer: B,C,E

Explanation:
When using VLAN the number and size of collision domains remain the same.
VLANs allow to group users by function, not by location or geography.
VLANs help minimize the incorrect configuration of VLANs so it enhances the security of the network.
VLAN increases the size of broadcast domains but does not decrease the number of collision domains.
VLANs increase the number of broadcast domains while decreasing the size of the broadcast domains which increase the utilization of the links. It is also a big advantage of VLAN.
VLANs are useful but they are more complex and need more administration.
