A.
The switch port connected to the router is incorrectly configured as an access port.

B.
The switch port that sends VLAN 13 frames from the switch to the router is shut down.

C.
Host B should be in VLAN 13.

D.
The gateway for host B is in a different subnet than the host is on.

E.
The address of host C is incorrect.

Explanation:
The Fa0/0.13 interface of the router is the subinterface used for VLAN 13. The IP address of this
interface is 172.19.13.254, so all devices in VLAN 13 will have their default gateway set to this
172.19.13.254 which means that all devices in VLAN13 need to be in the 172.19.13.0/24 subnet.
As can be seen in the output above, Host C is in VLAN 13 but its IP address has been incorrectly
configured for the 172.19.14.0/24 subnet.
