Selected Answer: A
MAC flooding: MAC flooding is a network attack where an attacker floods a switch with a large number of Ethernet frames, each containing different source MAC addresses. The goal is to overwhelm the switch's MAC address table and force it into a "fail-open" mode, where it starts broadcasting traffic to all ports, effectively turning it into a hub. This allows the attacker to capture network traffic intended for other devices.
