B. 1-->C; 2-->B; 3-->A
C. 1-->B; 2-->A; 3-->C
D. 1-->B; 2-->C; 3-->A
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
ARP (Address Resolution Protocol): IP works at network layer. IP address is a logical address. If a packet is to be delivered to a destination machine, its physical address (MAC address) needs to be known. ARP is a protocol, which enables a machine to obtain its MAC address from a know IP address.
RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol): RARP is used to obtain IP address from a known MAC address.
BootP (Bootstrap Protocol): When a diskless workstation is powered on, it broadcasts a BootP request on the network. A BootP server responds with its IP address, Default gateway, etc.
