Why each option

Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) must be enabled for the `show interfaces trunk` command to display native VLAN mismatch information.

ARSTP

RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) is used to prevent loops in a switched network and does not provide native VLAN mismatch detection.

BCDPCorrect

CDP is a Layer 2 protocol that discovers information about directly connected Cisco devices, including their native VLANs, and can report discrepancies in native VLAN configuration on trunk links.

CPortFast

PortFast is a STP feature that immediately brings an edge port to the forwarding state, bypassing the listening and learning states, and does not relate to native VLAN mismatch detection.

DDTP

DTP (Dynamic Trunking Protocol) is used to negotiate trunking parameters between two Cisco switches and does not report native VLAN mismatches in `show interfaces trunk` output.
