Final answer:

Switches make forwarding decisions based on the MAC address.

Step-by-step explanation:

Switches make forwarding decisions based on the MAC address. They examine the destination MAC address in the incoming frame and use the MAC address table to determine which port to forward the frame to. Switches do not forward all frames on all ports, but rather make forwarding decisions based on the destination MAC address.
