  1. A is correct.

    The default Ethernet VLAN is VLAN 1. It is a security best practice to configure all the ports on all switches to be associated with VLANs other than VLAN 1. All used ports are associated with VLANs distinct from VLAN 1.

    Reference: http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=2181837&seqNum=11

    All control/management traffic (like CDP, VTP, DTP…) is sent on VLAN 1 and we should separate management and user data traffic. Another reason is by default, the native VLAN is also VLAN 1 which is untagged on trunk links so it may cause a security hole.
