Refer to the exhibit. Which two solutions maximize the use of the links between the core and distribution layers? (Choose two.)

Using multiple equal-cost links allows routing protocols to distribute traffic across all available paths, enabling load balancing and thus maximizing the utilization of network bandwidth.

An IGP like OSPF or EIGRP dynamically builds routing tables and supports Equal-Cost MultiPath (ECMP), which is essential for identifying and utilizing multiple equal-cost links to spread traffic efficiently across the network infrastructure.

HSRP provides first-hop redundancy but typically keeps one link active at a time, which does not maximize the utilization of all available links.

RPVSTP+ prevents Layer 2 loops by blocking redundant paths, which inherently *reduces* overall link utilization for the sake of loop prevention.

Using multiple unequal-cost links would typically result in traffic preferring lower-cost paths, potentially underutilizing higher-cost links unless specific load-sharing mechanisms are configured.
