If the current queue depth is 8KB, what will happen to an in-profile packet arriving in the queue?

A queue is configured with the following attributes:

MBS = 10KB

CBS = 5KB

High-Priority-Only = 30%

Assume that there is no CBS overbooking and that the slope-policy is disabled.

If the current queue depth is 8KB, what will happen to an in-profile packet arriving in the queue?
A . It will be discarded because the high-priority-only threshold is exceeded.
B . It will be queued but re-marked as "out-of-profile."
C . It will be queued in the reserved portion of the buffer pool and remain "in-profile."
D . It will be queued in the shared portion of the buffer pool but contend for shared buffer space with packets from other queues.
E . It will be queued in the shared portion of the buffer pool but may be dropped if the buffer utilization exceeds the start-average value of the low slope.
