Question: Assume that we have three nodes connected to the same broadcast LAN. These nodes are Node X , Node Y , and Node Z .

Assume that we have three nodes connected to the same broadcast LAN. These nodes are Node X, Node Y, and Node Z. If Node Y sends a few hundreds of IP datagrams to Node X with each encapsulating frame with the destination address of Node X' MAC address. Node Z's adapter receives these frames, why?
Question 8 options:
Because all frames on a broadcast LAN are received by every node's adapter due to the broadcasting nature. However, it will not further process the frames after knowing the MAC address.
Because Node Z's adapter is hard working and it will process the frames regardless the MAC address in a broadcast LAN.
Because Node Y is the sender, and all nodes receive frames from Node Y in the same LAN. It will also process the frames as the computational power is shared among the nodes in a LAN.
Because Node Z's adapter filters out all traffic not originating from Node Z to reduce its computational burden.
