Sounds like something from the CID test. ;-)
Seriously, remember that you are picking the BEST answer. All answers but B
are clearly made up. Remember that the author has to come up with 4 or 5
feasible wrong answers. This is the hardest part of writing an exam. As an
exam-taker, you can sometimes see this process at work and easily recognize
which answers are the made-up wrong ones, as we can with this example.
As far as B being absolutely right, I'm thinking aloud here.... STP is
definitely dynamic. It helps a switch or bridge dynamically work around
loops in a network topology by creating a spanning tree. Perhaps that's
what they meant by "best path." Also, path selection is based on cost,
which is based on the bandwidth of a link, isn't it?
