Selected Answer: D
MAC Flooding The size of the CAM table is fixed, and as it can store only a limited number of MAC addresses in it, an attacker may send numerous fake MAC address to the switch. Attackers use the MAC flooding technique to force a switch to act as a hub so that they can easily sniff the traffic. (P.1119/1103)

D is Correct. MAC address flooding attack (CAM table flooding attack) is a type of network attack where an attacker connected to a switch port floods the switch interface with very large number of Ethernet frames with different fake source MAC address.
