Which statement is true about regarding the ARP reply?
When a host receives an ARP request and generates an ARP reply, the ARP reply is a direct response to the original requesting host. This means the ARP reply will have the destination MAC address set to the MAC address of the host that sent the ARP request. In this case, Host A sent the ARP request, so the ARP reply will be sent back to Host A. Therefore, the destination MAC address of the ARP reply frame is the MAC address of Host A.
C. is correct. Destination Mac address should be the Host A since it was a ARP reply
all are incorrects
Non of them is right. The destination MAC address is broadcast. A router does not transmit broadcast to other interfaces.
No router device is mentioned in this question. Hosts are connected in the same layer 2. C is correct
Why destination MAC is host A ? For me is Host D
The reply message is sent by Host D and this already have both MAC address and IP address of Host A, this information was obtained of the request message sent by Host A
