Which protocol establishes network redundancy in a switched Firepower device deployment?

The correct answer is A. STP. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) operates at Layer 2 and prevents switching loops while providing link redundancy in a switched network. In a transparent-mode (switched) Firepower deployment, the device participates in the Layer 2 network where STP manages redundant paths. HSRP, GLBP

Explanation

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) operates at Layer 2 and prevents switching loops while providing link redundancy in a switched network. In a transparent-mode (switched) Firepower deployment, the device participates in the Layer 2 network where STP manages redundant paths. HSRP, GLBP, and VRRP are First Hop Redundancy Protocols (FHRPs) operating at Layer 3 for gateway redundancy - they are irrelevant to switched/Layer 2 redundancy.
