Please define "fetched for display". Do you mean fetched, i.e.
requested, or do you mean displayed, i.e. shown to the user.

Depends on the user-agent.

Depends on the user-agent.

AC will only target C. BC will only target C. When the new
content of C is loaded in the browser, the browser will see any
framesets that are present there and issue new requests for the
content of the frames.
