Selected Answers: A


A is correct.

From the STP output on Core-2, it is evident that Core-2 has identified a root bridge with MAC address 02090f000701 and priority 4096, which is different from its own bridge MAC 02090f000702 and priority 32768. Core-2 has designated port3 as its root port, which is in a FORWARDING state, indicating that it is actively receiving Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) from the root bridge. This reception of BPDUs allows Core-2 to maintain accurate spanning tree information and correctly determine the root bridge, confirming that Core-2 has indeed received BPDUs from the root bridge.
