Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The key difference between hubs, switches and bridges is that hubs operate at Layer 1 of the OSI model, while bridges and switches work with MAC addresses at Layer 2.
Detailed explanation-2: -Routers operate on the third layer of the OSI Model, the Network-Control Layer.
Detailed explanation-3: -MAC addresses function at the data link layer (layer 2 in the OSI model). They allow computers to uniquely identify themselves on a network at this relatively low level.
