Why each option
This question asks for the specific destination MAC address used to identify an Ethernet broadcast frame.
This is a unicast MAC address, typically assigned to a specific network interface card.
The destination MAC address of an Ethernet broadcast frame is universally represented as `ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff`. This all-ones hexadecimal address signals that the frame is intended for all devices connected to the local network segment, ensuring it is processed by every host.
This is a unicast MAC address, uniquely identifying a single network interface.
This is a unicast MAC address, not a broadcast address.
This is not a standard broadcast MAC address; a true broadcast MAC address consists of all hexadecimal F's.
