Explanation:
When a host needs to reach a device on another subnet, the ARP cache entry will be that of the
Ethernet address of the local router (default gateway) for the physical MAC address. The
destination IP address will not change, and will be that of the remote host (HostB).

    “F” I think because when it pings HostB,,first it will check out if hostB is available in the local network and that local network is the switch which will then decide to forward it to the router because HostB isn’t available on LAN.

    Host A knows host B is in another network so it will send the pings to its default gateway 192.168.6.1. Host A sends a broadcast frame asking the MAC address of 192.168.6.1. These information (IP and MAC address of the default gateway) is saved in its ARP cache for later use.

    D is correct

    No puede ser enviada la trama con la dirección MAC de la misma interfaz de donde se origino, y la dirección IP se mantiene porque es la misma red, por tanto la respuesta correcta seria la A.

      After conferring with my colleagues and rereading the article, A is the correct answer. Host A will only see the MAC of router 1. The MAC changes every hop. The dest. IP will never change.

        D is the correct Answer

        this is the proccess:

        1) PC A sends a broadcast ARP , because it doesn’t know R1’s mac-address

        ARP Request:

        source ip:192.168.6.27
        source man: .fd86

        target ip: 192.168.6.4
        target mac: ???

        2) R1 receives and sends an Unicast Arp reply

        ARP Reply:

        source ip:R1’s ip
        source man: R1’s Mac

        target ip: pc A’s ip
        target mac: pc A’s mac
