Correct answer: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. This MAC address is the universally recognized broadcast address in Ethernet. When a frame is sent with this destination MAC address, all devices on the local network segment will process it. This ensures that the message reaches every host. The other options are incorrect. 00:00:0c:07:ac:01, 43:2e:08:00:00:0c, 00:00:0c:43:2e:08, and 00:00:0c:ff:ff:ff are examples of unicast or multicast MAC addresses, or invalid combinations. Unicast addresses are specific to a single device, while multicast addresses target a group of devices. None of these represent the standard Ethernet broadcast.
