A /22 subnet is the smallest IPv4 block in the answer set that closely fits a branch expected not to exceed roughly one thousand users while avoiding unnecessary address waste. A /22 contains 1024 total addresses and 1022 usable host addresses after the network and broadcast addresses are reserved. That aligns with the requirement to provide the maximum number of host addresses without selecting a larger block than necessary. A /21 provides 2048 total addresses and 2046 usable hosts, which is materially larger than the stated requirement and wastes address space. The specific 192.168.8.0/22 block also aligns on a valid /22 boundary because /22 networks increment by four in the third octet. A 192.168.16.0/22 is also mathematically valid, but the exhibit determines the available address range; the selected option uses the appropriate block from the displayed plan. Reference topics: IPv4 subnet sizing, CIDR, usable host calculation, branch address planning, VLSM.

Bootstrap Router is the standards-based mechanism that supports dynamic RP discovery in a PIM sparse-mode domain. Cisco documentation distinguishes Auto-RP, which is Cisco-proprietary, from BSR, which is defined for standards-based RP distribution. With BSR, candidate RPs advertise their availability, and the elected bootstrap router distributes RP-set information throughout the PIM domain. This removes the operational burden of manually configuring the same static RP information on every multicast router. Anycast-RP provides RP redundancy and load sharing but does not by itself provide standards-based dynamic RP discovery across the domain. Static RP is simple but not dynamic. Auto-RP can dynamically distribute RP information, but it is not the standards-based answer. The design value of BSR is most visible in large multicast domains, where routers need consistent RP information and manual changes are risky. Therefore, when the question asks for a standards-based RP deployment that supports dynamic RP discovery, the correct answer is bootstrap router.

The correct model set is the one that configures the IOS XE interface GigabitEthernet2/1/0 with IPv4 address 10.10.10.10 and prefix length 27 using valid XML according to the selected YANG schema. The directly connected host address 10.10.10.1/27 confirms the subnet relationship; both addresses belong to 10.10.10.0/27, so the interface configuration must use that prefix length rather than a host mask or an unrelated network. YANG-based configuration is strict: the namespace, container hierarchy, interface type, interface name, and address fields must match the device model. If an option places GigabitEthernet under the wrong container, represents the mask incorrectly, or uses a schema from a different model family, the device will reject the payload or configure the wrong object. Option D correctly represents the IOS XE XML structure and the required addressing. In real operations, the engineer should follow this with a get-config readback against the running datastore to prove that the structured configuration committed as intended. Reference topics: IOS XE interface YANG, XML payload structure, NETCONF configuration, IPv4 subnet validation.
