  1. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12-2/25ew/configuration/guide/conf/port_sec.html#wp1047761

    Port Security Guidelines and Restrictions
    Follow these guidelines when configuring port security:
    •A secure port cannot be a trunk port.
    •A secure port cannot be a destination port for Switch Port Analyzer (SPAN).
    •A secure port cannot belong to an EtherChannel port-channel interface.
    •A secure port and static MAC address configuration are mutually exclusive.

    Switch(config-if)# switchport port-security
    Enables port security on the interface.

  2. I second Jochen’s comment. Also E is not correct because the port needs to be either Static Trunk with specified encapsulation, or a static access port, which doesn’t use encapsulation but can obviously still get port-security
