Explanation
A switch operates at OSI Layer 2 (Data Link layer) and is responsible for forwarding Ethernet frames between devices on the same local network (broadcast domain) using MAC addresses. A router (D) operates at Layer 3 and forwards IP packets between different networks. A firewall (B) filters traffic based on security policies. A load balancer (A) distributes traffic across multiple servers. Frames are a Layer 2 concept, making the switch the correct answer.
