What occurs immediately following the encapsulation of data into IP packets during the transmission of data between source and destination hosts?

• The source host sends the packet to the default gateway address.
• An ARP request is made to determine the MAC address of the destination host.
• The source host determines if the destination network is the same or different from its own local subnet.
• The sending host encapsulates the data into a frame addressed to the MAC address of the destination host.
• The routing table is consulted to determine which interface to forward the packet through based on the longest prefix match.
