Interesting discussion, but I will have to respectfully say that MAC Spoofing (D) is the correct answer. My reasoning is that in the question it states that the network administrator is presented with a log from the Switch, not the ARP table from the target or the victim computers in this situation. You can ARP poison the computer's table, but the switch learns the MAC address when a device is plugged into the switch. So the attacking device has Spoofed an existing MAC address and the switch is learning that MAC from that device. The switch's ARP table is not being poisoned, but being spoofed by the attacking device.

The terms ARP Spoofing and ARP Poisoning are generally used interchangeably. Technically, spoofing refers to an attacker impersonating another machine’s MAC address, while poisoning denotes the act of corrupting the ARP tables on one or more victim machines. In practice, however, these are both sub-elements of the same attack, and in general parlance, both terms are used to refer to the attack as a whole. Other similar terms might include ARP cache poisoning or ARP table corruption.
