Answer: C

Explanation:

NORMAL: Represents the traditional non-OpenFlow pipeline of the switch. Can be used only as an output port and processes the packet using the normal pipeline. If the switch cannot forward packets from the OpenFlow pipeline to the normal pipeline, it must indicate that it does not support this action.
