What is the best solution for this environment and these needs?

Refer to the exhibit.

All connections between switches are 10 Gbps. Switch is an Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF) group with two member. Switch2 is an IRF group with two members. Switch1 and Switch2 route all traffic. A network architect is designing a solution for a finance company. One of the primary applications is a multicast application that delivers stock information to IP video screens across the site.

The network architect is seeking a multicast solution that meets these needs:

– Simple configuration that the customer’s IT staff can manage and troubleshoot

– No single point of failure for the multicast traffic

What is the best solution for this environment and these needs?
A . Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Dense Mode (DM).
B . Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Sparse Mode (SM) with switch 1 and switch 2 configured as candidate Rendezvous Points (C-RPs), and switch1 and Switch2 also configured as Bootstrap Router (BSRs).
C . Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Dense Mode (DM) with Switch1 and Switch2 set as the DM Master Router. Switch1 has a higher MR priority for an address associated with the multicast application.
D . Protocol independent Multicast (PIM) Sparse Mode (SM) with switch1 and Switch2 set as the static Rendezvous Points (RPs). Switch1 has a higher RP priority for an address associated with the multicast application.
