If multiple access points (APs) have been loaded with the same configuration from an image file, they would share the same BSSID. However, each AP would still have its unique source address (MAC address). This scenario would lead to multiple stations broadcasting Beacon frames with the same BSSID but with different source addresses, as each AP would advertise itself using the common BSSID while still using its own MAC address as the source address.
I say C. The bssid for each STA in an ad-hoc network (IBSS) is randomly generated specifically to avoid multiple STAs having the same bssid. However, if the BSSID were set by a common config file, the bssid would be the same across multiple STAs with different source addresses.
