Which configuration must be performed when an engineer implements MP-BGP to exchange IPV6 routes?
The correct answer is A. BGP peering must be activated under the IPv6 address family. MP-BGP separates each address family into its own “activate” stanza. Simply establishing the IPv4 session isn’t enough - under router bgp … you must enter address-family ipv6 unicast (or vpnv6 unicast for IPv6 VPNs) and issue neighbor <IP> activate.

Explanation
MP-BGP separates each address family into its own “activate” stanza. Simply establishing the IPv4 session isn’t enough - under router bgp … you must enter address-family ipv6 unicast (or vpnv6 unicast for IPv6 VPNs) and issue neighbor <IP> activate. This tells BGP to carry and exchange IPv6 NLRI over that session.
