Which of the following is correct physical address of a computer?

AFC : F8 : AE : 7B

BF8 : FC : AE

CF8 : FA : 7B : FC : 16 : 1B : AB

DF8 : FC : AE : 7B : 16 : CE ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) F8 : FC : AE : 7B : 16 : CE

Explanation

A physical or MAC address has six pairs of hexadecimal digits, matching F8:FC:AE:7B:16:CE.

FC:F8:AE:7B has only four groups, too few for a MAC address.

F8:FC:AE has just three groups and cannot be a valid MAC address.

The seven group value has too many parts to be a MAC address.

A MAC address is 48 bits long, written as six octets separated by colons.

The first three octets identify the manufacturer as the organisationally unique identifier.
