D
Correct answer
Explanation
Switches operate at Layer 2 (Data Link Layer) of the OSI model, using MAC addresses to forward frames within a network segment. They maintain MAC address tables to learn which devices are connected to which ports, enabling efficient frame forwarding. Routers operate at the Network Layer, not switches.
