Refer to Exhibit:

Based on the network shown in the graphic which option contains both the potential networking
problem and the protocol or setting that should be used to prevent the problem?

A.
routing loops, hold down timers

B.
switching loops, split horizon

C.
routing loops, split horizon

D.
switching loops, VTP

E.
routing loops, STP

F.
switching loops, STP

Explanation:
The Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP) prevents loops from being formed when
switches or bridges are interconnected via multiple paths. Spanning-Tree Protocol implements the

802.1D IEEE algorithm by exchanging BPDU messages with other switches to detect loops, and
then removes the loop by shutting down selected bridge interfaces. This algorithm guarantees that
there is one and only one active path between two network devices.
