A technician is setting up a new network and wants to create redundant paths through the network. Which of the following should be implemented to prevent

performance degradation?

A.
Port mirroring

B.
Spanning tree

C.
ARP inspection

D.
VLAN

Explanation:
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network. The basic function of STP is
to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. Spanning tree also allows a network design to include spare (redundant) links to provide
automatic backup paths if an active link fails, without the danger of bridge loops, or the need for manual enabling/disabling of these backup links.
