  1. C:

    BPDUfilter can be configured globally or on the interface level and there’s a difference:

    Global: if you enable BPDUfilter globally then any interface with portfast enabled will not send or receive any BPDUs. When you receive a BPDU on a portfast enabled interface then it will lose its portfast status, disables BPDU filtering and acts as a normal interface.
    Interface: if you enable BPDUfilter on the interface it will ignore incoming BPDUs and it will not send any BPDUs. This is the equivalent of disabling spanning-tree.

  2. The correct answer is B. loop guard monitors BPDU activity on nondesignated ports and puts it on loop-inconsistent state to prevent a loop from forming. when BPDU is received again the loop guard allows the port to move through STP state to become active again. PBDU filter disable STP on a port.
    Reference: page 210 on the cisco CCNP switch official certification guide.

  3. If BPDU Filter is enabled globally with spanning-tree portfast bdpufilter default then if a BPDU arrives on a portfast port the port then transitions out of the portfast state and into listening, learning and then forwarding state.
    BPDU Guard simply places the port in an err-disabled state which is not an STP state.
    Answer should be C
