I agree with you, Kina. That's why I would choose option D.

I think the ARP cache resolves the MAC address of a host device given its IP address.

Hmm, B does sound a bit too specific. I mean, an ARP cache is going to have both IP and MAC addresses, not just IP. Gotta go with D on this one.

I'm not sure, but I think option A also makes sense as it maps an unknown IP address to a known hardware address.

D seems like the obvious choice here. ARP is all about resolving MAC addresses from IP addresses, right? I can't imagine why anyone would think it's for ICMP messages or adding IP addresses.
