Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) 100

Explanation

The generator bit string is 1011. Append three zeros to obtain 11000000 and divide over GF(2). XOR with the aligned divisor successively leaves 01110000,00101000,00000100. The final remainder is 100, so append those three bits. Thus C.
