Correct answer & explanation

Enter MST configuration mode and set region name

MST configuration begins with entering MST mode and defining the region name, revision number, and VLAN-to-instance mapping. After configuration, the switch computes an MD5 digest of the MST configuration to identify region membership. Switches in the same region then run IST (Internal Spanning Tree) and CIST (Common and Internal Spanning Tree) to elect a root bridge for the region. Finally, per-instance spanning trees are calculated within the region.
