Why each option
In VRRP, the router with the highest configured priority is elected as the primary virtual router.
Router B would only be elected master if it had the highest priority, or if all priorities were equal and it had the highest IP address among equal priorities, which is not implied here as C is correct.
Router D would only be elected master if it had the highest priority, or if all priorities were equal and it had the highest IP address among equal priorities, which is not implied here as C is correct.
The VRRP master (primary virtual router) is elected based on the highest configured priority value within the VRRP group. Assuming Router C is configured with a higher VRRP priority than the other routers in the exhibit, it will be elected as the master and handle traffic for the virtual IP address.
Router A would only be elected master if it had the highest priority, or if all priorities were equal and it had the highest IP address among equal priorities, which is not implied here as C is correct.
