a) A is sending packet to B:

Here Switch is used to connect them.

Switch doesn't changes the MAC address in the network.

So When the packet is received , it have $\color{purple} {Source  \: as \: MAC \:of \:A}$

b)A is sending packet to C:

Here Router is involved to connect A and C.

At  A:     

 , We have Source MAC as A's MAC and Destination Mac as R1's MAC

When it reaches R1, Router change MAC addresses like

When this is received at C ,we will have  $\color{blue} {\:Source\: as\: MAC\:of\: Router}$
