D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is D because in a routed network, the source MAC address of frames received by a host is the MAC address of the router interface through which those frames arrived (E0 in this case). This occurs because the router re-encapsulates the packet with its own MAC address as the source when forwarding frames to the destination network.
