  1. Should be D.
    1. IS-IS L1 external routes are not propagated into L2 by default.
    2. Type-135 TLV will be treated as internal as it does not have I/E bit.
    3. When you enable ‘wide-metrics-only’ on R5, the router only sends Type-135 TLV for those external prefixes.

    Reference: https://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB26187
    “… TLV 135 does not have the bit to indicate an internal or external route. So, IPv4 external routes are also programmed as Internal in the ISIS database. …”

  2. I think, it should be applied to ABR routers R3 & R4 so that it can suppress external/internal flag of routes from area 49.0002 to area 49.0001
    So correct answer should be : C
