Which option describes a design benefit of root guard?
A) It prevents switch loops caused by unidirectional point-to-point link condition of Rapid PVST+ and MST.
B) It allows small, unmanaged switches to be plugged into ports of access switches without the risk of switch loops.
C) It does not generate a spanning-tree topology change upon connecting and disconnecting a station on a port.
D) It prevents switched traffic from traversing suboptimal paths on the network
E) It prevents switch loops by detecting one-way communications onthe physical port
F) It makes the port go immediately into the forwarding state after being connected.
