Answers

A network

Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communication on the physical network segment. It is used to identify a specific piece of hardware, such as a network card or a network interface within a device. MAC addresses are crucial in ensuring the proper routing of data on local networks, functioning at the data link layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model.

A . A user is identified through user accounts, not hardware-level MAC addresses.

C . An IP address identifies devices on a network but operates at Layer 3 (Network Layer), while MAC addresses work at the hardware level.

D . A network is identified by an IP address or a subnet, not by a MAC address.
