How would the network architect explain why the solution fits these requirements?

Refer to the exhibit.

A network architect is proposing this solution to a customer. The customer network manager has a preference for Cisco VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+) because this protocol provides for fast convergence when a link fails and also provides per-VLAN load-sharing over links.

How would the network architect explain why the solution fits these requirements?
A . The MSTP component of the solution fulfills the same needs as PVST+ MSTP simply balances traffic per instance rather than per-VLAN
B . The redundant links between the switches are protected by MSTP and the built-in loop guard on HP-3800 switches. MSTP provides load-sharing and loop guard provides resiliency
C . The solution as shown provides the same load-sharing benefits as PVST+. To achieve the same resiliency benefits, the architect can add smart link to the meshed stack
D . The link aggregation between tiers provide even better resiliency and load-sharing than PVST+ while MSTP protects against accidental loops

Answer: D
