Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

MAC spoofing is a technique that allows a hacker to change the media access control (MAC) address of their network interface card (NIC) to impersonate another device on the network. By capturing the hardware address of the server, the hacker can spoof their MAC address to match the server's and bypass any MAC-based security measures, such as MAC filtering or MAC authentication. MAC spoofing can also be used to perform man-in-the-middle attacks, where the hacker intercepts and alters the traffic between two devices on the network.Reference:CompTIA Network+ N10-008 Cert Guide, Chapter 7, Section 7.3
