Explanation
PADT stands for PPPoE Active Discovery Terminate, and its sole purpose is to signal the end of an active PPPoE session - either the client or the server can send it to gracefully tear down the connection. This makes option A (TRUE) correct by definition.
Option B (FALSE) is wrong because the "T" in PADT explicitly means "Terminate"; confusing it with other PPPoE discovery packets (PADI, PADO, PADR, PADS) is a common mistake, but none of those handle session teardown.
Memory tip: Learn the PPPoE discovery sequence as an acronym story - "I Offered, Request Session, Then Done" → PADI → PADO → PADR → PADS → PADT. Since PADT comes last and "T = Terminate," it's always the goodbye packet.
