Refer to the exhibit.
The switches in the exhibit are all ArubaOS switches that run MSTP. The network administrator wants all of the switch-to-switch links shown in the exhibit to be available for forwarding routed traffic.
What should the administrator do to accomplish this?
A. Configure link-keepalive on the switch-to-switch ports.
B. Configure links on a switch as a standard link aggregation.
C. Configure the switch-to-switch ports as MSTP auto-edge ports.
D. Configure BPDU filters on the switch-to-switch ports.

“How were you able to disable spanning tree on switch-to-switch links (implement BPDU filters) without introducing broadcast storms? Why did you need to disable spanning tree on these links in your initial setup?
In your new topology, VLANs are isolated on one switch only. Because the broadcast domain does not extend over the redundant switch-to-switch links, broadcast storms cannot occur.
You needed to disable spanning tree on these links (filter BPDUs) so that the redundant switch-to-switch links are available for routing. Otherwise, MSTP puts some of the interfaces in a blocking state.”
I for once aggre with Zielony haha, D is correct as the links are in there own VLANs you do not want STP running on the links as this would shut down links at layer 2.
I bet D
Isn’t the purpose of edge port to connect the hosts, not for the trunk ports?
