Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

Elect root bridge and assign port roles (RP, DP, AP)

Rapid PVST+ first elects the root bridge and determines port roles. It then uses synchronization handshakes between bridges to quickly transition ports to forwarding without relying on timers. Edge ports (connected to hosts) immediately transition to forwarding. Finally, the topology change notification propagates to update MAC address tables.
