A host is transmitting a broadcast, which hosts will receive it?

• A. The Transmitting Host Only
• B. Only the Destination Address
• C. All Hosts On The Internet
• D. All Hosts In The Same Network

Answer: (D)

Broadcasts are delivered to every host on the same local network segment. When a host sends a message to the broadcast address, the frame is flooded to all devices on that LAN, so all hosts within that broadcast domain hear it. Routers don’t forward broadcasts by default, so outside networks don’t see it. This means the transmission is received by all hosts in the same network, not just the sender or a single destination, and not by the entire Internet.
