question is trying to trick you. It's still asking about an unknown destination MAC address essentially. Answer given is correct

Selected Answer: B
A is not the same as B. When you create a VLAN on a switch and you send a broadcast into one of them, this broadcast will reach only on the members of the respective VLAN (which this switch belongs), not on all members of all the VLANs. Recall: Each VLAN is typically its own broadcast domain.

Selected Answer: B
When a switch receives a frame with a destination MAC address that is not in its MAC address table (because it has aged out), the switch will flood the frame to all ports within the same VLAN, except the port that received the frame. This process is used to locate the destination device so that it can update the MAC address table with the correct port for future frames.

Once an entry ages out, the switch removes it from the table, and the frame is treated as an unknown unicast.

When the switch receives a frame for a destination MAC address which isn't listed in its CAM table, it floods the frame to all LAN ports of the "same VLAN", except the port where it received the frame. So, the option "B" is correct.

B is not correct because when the destination mac address is not found in the mac address table the switch floods the frame to all VLANs.
