Correct answer: A
By default, a switch creates one broadcast domain regardless of the number of ports. This is because all ports on a switch belong to the same broadcast domain unless VLANs are configured. Each port does not create a separate broadcast domain. Therefore, a 12-port switch still forms a single broadcast domain.
