MAC limiting protects against flooding of the Ethernet switching table (also known as the MAC forwarding table or Layer 2 forwarding table). This feature is enabled on interfaces (ports). MAC limiting sets a limit on the number of MAC addresses that can be learned on a single Layer 2 access port. The MAC limit value in the EX-series switch’s default configuration is five MAC addresses. You can configure the MAC limit on an interface, on an interface in a VLAN, or on all interfaces. You can also specify the action to be taken when the MAC limit is exceeded, such as dropping packets, logging messages, or shutting down the interface. Additionally, you can configure specific “allowed” MAC addresses for the access port. Any MAC address that is not in the list of configured addresses is not learned. Allowed MAC binds MAC addresses to a VLAN so that the address does not get registered outside the VLAN. References:

A  is correct because dynamic ARP inspection (DAI) is a Layer 2 security feature that prevents ARP spoofing attacks. ARP spoofing is a technique that allows an attacker to send fake ARP messages to associate a spoofed MAC address with a legitimate IP address. This can result in traffic redirection, man-in-the-middle attacks, or denial-of-service attacks.  DAI validates ARP packets by checking the source MAC address and IP address against a trusted database, which is usually built by DHCP snooping 1 .  DAI discards any ARP packets that do not match the database or have invalid formats 1 .

C  is correct because DHCP snooping is a Layer 2 security feature that prevents DHCP spoofing attacks. DHCP spoofing is a technique that allows an attacker to act as a rogue DHCP server and offer fake IP addresses and other network parameters to unsuspecting clients. This can result in traffic redirection, man-in-the-middle attacks, or denial-of-service attacks. DHCP snooping filters DHCP messages by classifying switch ports as trusted or untrusted.  Trusted ports are allowed to send and receive any DHCP messages, while untrusted ports are allowed to send only DHCP requests and receive only valid DHCP replies from trusted ports 2 .  DHCP snooping also builds a database of MAC addresses, IP addresses, lease times, and binding types for each client 2 .
