Why each option

HSRP uses a specific virtual MAC address format where the last octet is derived from the HSRP group number in hexadecimal.

A00:05:5e:19:0c:14

This MAC address format does not conform to the standard HSRPv1 virtual MAC address scheme.

B00:05:0c:07:ac:14

This MAC address format does not conform to the standard HSRPv1 virtual MAC address scheme.

C04:15:26:73:3c:0e

This MAC address format does not conform to the standard HSRPv1 virtual MAC address scheme.

D00:00:0c:07:ac:0eCorrect

The default HSRP virtual MAC address for HSRPv1 is 00:00:0C:07:AC:XX, where XX represents the HSRP group number in hexadecimal. For HSRP group 14 (decimal), 14 converts to E in hexadecimal, resulting in the virtual MAC address 00:00:0C:07:AC:0E.
