  1. the correct answer is A, on CCNA Collaboration CIVND 210-065 Official Cert Guide

    The 4500 series MCUs are all HD only appliance servers except for the 4501. The 4501 is
    a great entry-level MCU offering 12 SD ports or 6 HD ports or 3 full HD ports. An option
    key is available that will increase the ports to 24 SD ports, or 12 HD ports or 6 full HD
    ports. On the high end, the Cisco TelePresence MCU 4520 offers up to 40 high-definition
    video ports and is an ideal solution for mixed-vendor high-definition endpoint environments.
    High-definition is defined at 720p30. The limitation of using a 4500 series MCU is
    the lack of scalability it brings to an environment. If an organization is maxing out the port
    usage of a 4500 series MCU, they can buy another MCU, but the ports on these two MCUs
    cannot be joined together without cascading a call. Cascading is when one MCU conference
    calls into another MCU conference. The full participant layout from one conference will
    appear in a single pane of the other conference layout. This makes viewing participants very
    difficult. If cascading is used, best practice suggests using Active Speaker layout.

  2. Cascading
    Cascading refers to the ability to bridge together conferences on two multipoint devices as one conference. This increases the maximum number of endpoints supported in a conference and can reduce bandwidth across links, depending on how the multipoint devices are deployed. Note that cascading conferences can create an inconsistent user experience, especially when features such as continuous presence are used by the endpoints. This is due to the remote conference appearing as just another endpoint on the local conference.

    When making use of cascading for a large briefing conference type, it is a best practice to have all slave MCUs set to full-screen voice switched, and the master MCU set to the desired Continuous Presence layout. All the main speakers should be located in the master MCU so that they can be provided with the best experience.

    This question is too vague and does not provide enough information to be answered correctly. Depending on the setup it could be either continuous or Active speaker.

  3. Is wrong the correct answer is A. Active Speaker.

    The book “CCNA Collaboration CIVND 210-065 Official Cert Guide” in the page 296 says:
    “If cascading is used, best practice suggests using Active Speaker layout.”
