What statement describes the function of ARP?
Explanation:
ARP is a protocol used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses within a local network segment. When a host needs to communicate with another host on the same network segment, it uses ARP to determine the MAC address associated with the destination IP address. By broadcasting an ARP request, the host asks “Who has this IP address?” The host with the corresponding IP address responds with its MAC address, allowing the requesting host to send data directly to the destination. This process enables communication between devices on the same local network segment.
