Refer to the following exhibit. Assume all links have an equal metric in the IGP. Receiver 2 has joined the multicast group and the source is sending. After the switchover of Router F, will a branch of the Shared Path Tree still exist between Router D and Router E?
A) Yes. As it is maintained by the PIM hellos, it will exist until Router D or Router E is PIM disabled
B) Yes, it will exist until the source stops sending multicast traffic
C) Yes, it will exist until Router D prunes itself from the shared path tree
D) No. Only Source Path Trees will remain
