How does the sending host know if the destination is local or remote in respect to its immediate network?

A. The host compares the IP address to its internal routing table.
B. The host performs ANDing on its subnet mask and the destination IP address comparing the result to its own network address.
C. The host performs ANDing on the destination subnet mask and the destination IP address, comparing the result to its own network address.
D. The IP address is verified to be local to its network via ICMP.

B. The sending host ANDs its subnet mask against the destination IP address, then against its IP address, and this give a frame of reference for where it needs to go and where it is.
