Solution

An ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table tracks MAC (Media Access Control) addresses and IP addresses. So, the correct answer from the given list would be "IP address".

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. ARP is a protocol used for mapping an IP address to a computer connected to a local network LAN.
  2. Each device on the network has a unique MAC address and an IP address.
  3. When a device needs to send a packet to another device, it needs to know the recipient's MAC address.
  4. If the sender only knows the recipient's IP address, it will send a broadcast ARP request to the network, which contains the known IP address.
  5. The device with the matching IP address will respond with its MAC address.
  6. The sender saves this information in its ARP table for future use.

So, an ARP table keeps track of both MAC addresses and IP addresses.
