Answer: B

Explanation:

The default system MTU for traffic on Catalyst switches is 1500 bytes. Because the 802.1Q tunneling (Q­in-Q) feature increases the frame size by 4 bytes when the extra tag is added, you must configure all switches in the service-provider network to be able to process maximum frames by increasing the switch system MTU size to at least 1504 bytes.
