Tesla Radio GmbH is going to build a new research lab network based on a set of switches that would connect to their existing enterprise network. They are considering a design that would guarantee loop- free behavior within the set of switches. The design would also allow the group of switches to seem like a single switch to the enterprise network, because it is owned by a separate administrative group. Which Spanning Tree Protocol should be used to support the design requirements?
A) IEEE 802.1w
B) IEEE 802.1D
C) IEEE 802.1s
D) IEEE 802.1p

IEEE 802.1s, also known as Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), allows multiple VLANs to be mapped to a single spanning tree instance, which can make a group of switches appear as a single switch to the enterprise network, while ensuring loop-free topology.
