The correct answer accurately describes the role of the control plane, which is responsible for making decisions about data paths. It achieves this by running routing protocols (like OSPF or BGP) to learn the network topology and then populating a routing table. The data plane (or forwarding plane) then uses these tables to forward packets. Forwarding packets is the data plane's responsibility. The management plane provides the interface for configuration, and the physical layer handles bit transmission.
