Correct answer: Add or remove an 802.1Q trunking header., Match the destination MAC address to the MAC address table..
Why this is the answer
The data plane (forwarding plane) handles the actual forwarding of user traffic. Adding or removing an 802.1Q trunking header is a data plane function because it involves modifying frames as they traverse the network device. Matching the destination MAC address to the MAC address table is also a data plane function, as it determines the outbound interface for a frame. Running routing protocols is a control plane function, as it builds the routing table. Making a configuration change via NETCONF is a management plane function. Replying to an ICMP echo request is typically a control plane function, as the device itself is the target of the request, not forwarding user data.
