How do bridges keep track of whether they should forward or filter frames?

a. From each frame they receive, they extract source addresses; those frames whose source addresses don’t belong to the bridge’s broadcast domain are filtered.

b. They hold each frame until it is requested by the destination node, at which time the bridge forwards the data to the correct segment based on its MAC address.

c. They maintain a filtering database that identifies which frames can be filtered and which should be forwarded, based on their destination MAC address.

d. They compare the incoming frame’s network address with known addresses on both segments and filter those that don’t belong to either.
