A frame with a VLAN tag will be delivered from a switch interface configured for that VLAN because VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are used to segment network traffic on a switch. Each VLAN has its own unique tag that identifies the traffic associated with that VLAN. When the switch receives a frame with a VLAN tag, it uses that tag to determine which VLAN the frame belongs to and forwards it to the appropriate interfaces that are configured to accept traffic for that VLAN. This method allows for better management of traffic and helps to ensure that broadcast domains are kept separate, thereby enhancing network performance and security.

The other options aren’t applicable for delivering tagged frames. A direct internet connection typically involves traffic that does not use VLAN tagging, as it is meant for external communication rather than internal network segmentation. A wireless access point can support VLANs but it must be connected to a switch that handles VLAN tagging; hence it does not directly deliver the VLAN-tagged frames. Similarly, a router configured for dynamic IP addressing does not inherently deal with VLAN tagging when forwarding frames; it operates at Layer 3 of the OSI model, focusing on IP addresses rather than Layer 2 VLAN tags.
