Answer:

B. False.

Step-by-step explanation:

A MAC or media access control address is an address hard-coded to a device by its manufacturers. It is the layer 2 address of the OSI networking model. It is used to identify, transmit and receive frames in a network.

The MAC spoofing is a process where program softwares are used to change a device's hard-coded MAC address.

Attacker uses MAC spoofing to change their system's MAC addresses to a MAC address similar to that of a computerin a network to infiltrate that network security.
