  1. Terrible question, as 3 answers are correct. This is required on IOS routers:

    1- config a hostname
    2- config a domain name
    3- generate the crypto key
    4- enable ssh on the VTY lines

    The only hope is that the Q refers to some newer IOS versions where telnet doesn’t even exist anymore, and therefore ssh is enabled by default on the VTY lines (and therefore the answer would be BE); or, it might play with plural vs singular in the “B” answer: you generate ONE pair, and not “pairs”, therefore the correct answers would be DE…

  2. This is one of those classic Cisco question where there are 3 correct answers but you have to choose 2.
    B, E, and D are all required for SSH to work on all the routers I have ever worked with.
    I just hope I don’t see this question on the test.
