If host A wants to communicate with host B, which is on another subnet, host...

ARP resolves an IPv4 address to a Layer 2 MAC address only within the local broadcast domain. When Host A determines, from its IP address and subnet mask, that Host B is on a different subnet, Host A does not broadcast an ARP request for Host B ' s MAC address. Instead, it forwards the packet to its default gateway. If the gateway ' s MAC address is not already cached, Host A broadcasts an ARP request for the gateway interface ' s IPv4 address. The gateway replies with its own MAC address, and Host A uses that MAC address as the Ethernet destination while retaining Host B ' s IP address as the IP destination. The router then forwards the packet toward Host B and may perform ARP on the destination subnet to learn Host B ' s MAC address. Therefore, the statement incorrectly describes cross-subnet forwarding as direct ARP resolution between the two hosts. The correct answer is FALSE, option B.
