What is a feature of a MAC address?

The correct answer is B. It consists of 12 hexadecimal numbers. A MAC (Media Access Control) address is 48 bits long, which is represented as 12 hexadecimal digits (each hex digit represents 4 bits; 12 × 4 = 48 bits). It is commonly written in formats like AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF or AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF. Option A (38 bits) and D (24 bits) are…

Explanation

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is 48 bits long, which is represented as 12 hexadecimal digits (each hex digit represents 4 bits; 12 × 4 = 48 bits). It is commonly written in formats like AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF or AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF. Option A (38 bits) and D (24 bits) are incorrect bit lengths. Option C (6 hexadecimal numbers) is incorrect - 6 hex digits would only be 24 bits, not 48. The full 12-hex-digit representation is the correct answer.
