If host Z needs to send data through router R1 to a storage server, which destination MAC address does host Z use to transmit packets?

Question:
If host Z needs to send data through router R1 to a storage server, which destination MAC address does host Z use to transmit packets?

• the host Z MAC address
• the MAC address of the interface on R1 that connects to the storage server
• the MAC address of the interface on R1 that connects to host Z
• the MAC address of the storage server interface

Explanation: Host Z will use ARP to get the MAC address of the interface on R1 that connects to it and use this MAC as the destination MAC address. It use the IP address of the storage server as the destination IP address.

For example in the topology below, host A will use the MAC address of E0 interface of the router as its destination MAC address to reach the Email Server.
