  1. Answer “A” is incorrect. The correct answer should be “C” – IS-IS L1 routers (such as router R2 on the picture) can only form adjacency with other L1 and L1/L2 routers in the SAME area. In this case R2 and R4 are in different areas – 49.0001 and 49.0002, respectively. This is why the IS-IS hello types and hence the command output is as shown.
