  1. Correct answer : C

    Since Fa0/11 & Fa0/12 port roles are not shown as Designated ( Desg ).

    below link has an example of a switch which is a root bridge for a Vlan.
    Example 3-13 : verifying the Vlan10 is using RSTP :
    https://books.google.com.au/books?id=jhgwDwAAQBAJ&pg=PT255&lpg=PT255&dq=Verifying+That+VLAN+10+Is+Using+RSTP&source=bl&ots=DXHfgKcYHU&sig=ACfU3U1RXLdWxs_i1TNuxK7HNxN1OJbZ6A&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiOgoLzx6TnAhXOTX0KHbWrAIwQ6AEwAHoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=Verifying%20That%20VLAN%2010%20Is%20Using%20RSTP&f=false

  2. For people who need more explanation why C is the right answer:

    A. False -It can been seen in the exhibit the switch is running rstp
    B. False – If it was the root for VLAN 40, all ports would be forwarding.
    C. True – As per answer
    D. False – The MAC address of the root bridge is: 0017.2935.6418. This is lower than the other MAC address, hence the reason its the root.

  3. Shouldn’t the answer be ‘C’? A root bridge would have all it’s ports in designated and this is not the case in this example which would mean answer is C. Please confirm.
