All source MAC addresses must be manually configured in CAM.
The switch reads the source MAC address on incoming frames and records
it in CAM.
The switch reads the destination MAC address on incoming frames and
records it in CAM.
If a switch port is full duplex, the switch reads both the source and
destination MAC addresses on incoming frames and records them in CAM.

Hi. I believe each connected device has it's own unique MAC address. From the web: "(Media Access Control address) The unique serial number burned into Ethernet and Token Ring adapters that identifies that network card from all others."

Correct answer is your second one. The switch will remember the source MAC address for incoming traffic, and will associate that mac address with the interface it came in on.
