Broadcast MAC Address

Question

Which of the following frames would be flooded on a switch port?

1. Frame with source address as FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
2. Frame with destination mac-address as FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF.
3. Frames which do not have the destination mac-address known in the mac-address table of the switch.
4. None of the above.

Answer 1

As part of the learning process, a switch will flood the single frame out all of its other ports when it cannot find the destination MAC address in the switch’s lookup table.

If a broadcast frame is received with a destination MAC address ff ff ff ff ff ff, the switch forwards the broadcast frame out all of the other ports. 

so, correct answer should be 3.
for option 2 the term used is broadcasting and for option 3 the term used is flooding.
but my understanding of the difference between flooding and broadcasting is not clear.

Any one having clear concept about these two terms please share...

Why not 2?

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF is limited broadcast MAC address this can be used to flood in same network only. If Destination in any other network then it can not used as destination address.
