Options

AIt configures an inactive switch virtual interface.
BIt configures an active management interface.

Explanation

Without the exhibit, assuming a common scenario where a Switch Virtual Interface (SVI) is created but not assigned an IP address or explicitly shut down, it remains in an inactive state.

Common mistakes.

B. An active management interface would require an IP address and no shutdown status on the SVI.
C. The native VLAN is typically configured on a trunk port (switchport trunk native vlan X), not by just creating an SVI.
D. The term "default VLAN" usually refers to VLAN 1, which is always present by default, not something explicitly configured as such.
