B.

The correct answer is B. ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.

Explanation:

A broadcast frame is a type of network packet that is sent to all devices on a network segment, rather than being addressed to a specific device. When a device sends a broadcast frame, it sets the destination MAC address to ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff, which is the broadcast MAC address.

The other MAC addresses listed in the answer choices are not the destination MAC address of a broadcast frame:

  • A. 00:00:0c:07:ac:01: This is a MAC address owned by VMware, Inc. It is not related to broadcast frames.
  • C. 43:2e:08:00:00:0c: This MAC address is associated with Cisco's Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP). It is not related to broadcast frames.
  • D. 00:00:0c:43:2e:08: This MAC address is associated with VMware, Inc. It is not related to broadcast frames.
  • E. 00:00:0c:ff:ff:ff: This MAC address is associated with VMware, Inc. It is not related to broadcast frames.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff.
