A.
It will drop the frame.

B.
It will forward the frame out port Fa0/3 only.

C.
It will flood the frame out all ports.

D.
It will flood the frame out all ports except Fa0/3.

Explanation:
Switches learn the MAC addresses of PCs or workstations that are connected to their switch ports
by examining the source address of frames that are received on that port.
Machines may have been removed from a port, turned off, or moved to another port on the same
switch or a different switch.
This could cause confusion in frame forwarding.
The MAC address entry is automatically discarded or aged out after 300 seconds
If there is not MAC address of destination host in MAC table, switch sends broadcast to all ports
except the source to find out the destination host.
In the output there is no MAC address of the given host so the switch will flood to all ports except
the source port, which is port fa 0/3.

    Images for Questions 23 and 24 are around the wrong way.

    Please note that the MAC is know, thus will be forwarded out FA0/6, however, if you refer to the correct image, shows in Question 24, the MAc is not knows and would be flooded out all ports except the source port.

    @Admin, Please correct images
