How is the switch's MAC table filled when there is a hub connecting multiple hosts to the switch?

enter image description here

I understand the switch learns the addresses using flooding. But what happens when there is a hub connected? What address do I write in the table if for example computer d sends a message to a through port 3, and also c sends a message to b through port 3?

Whose address does the switch take? or does it add another listing in the table for port 3 ?
