The BPDU messages are used to determine the root bridge in a spanning tree network. The root bridge sends BPDU messages out of its root port to all other switches in the network. The best ports on the other switches, which have the lowest path cost to the root bridge, are designated as root ports. These switches then send their own BPDU messages out of their root ports, updating the network on changes to the topology. Therefore, the correct answer is B) root ports.
