The correct answer is D. Configure PE1 and PE2 with the same ESI. EVPN all-active multihoming requires both PEs that connect to the same CE to share the identical Ethernet Segment Identifier (ESI). Using the same ESI signals a single multihomed Ethernet segment, enabling DF election and active/active load balancing for the CE’s traffic.
