Why each option

HSRP group 30 uses a default virtual MAC address derived from the standard HSRP prefix and the group ID converted to hexadecimal.

A00:05:0c:07:ac:30

This MAC address format does not conform to the standard HSRP virtual MAC address prefix and group ID conversion.

B00:00:0c:07:ac:1eCorrect

The default HSRP virtual MAC address format is 00:00:0C:07:AC:XX, where XX is the HSRP group number in hexadecimal. For group 30 (decimal), the hexadecimal equivalent is 1E, resulting in the MAC address 00:00:0C:07:AC:1E.

C05:0c:5e:ac:07:30

This MAC address does not match the standard HSRP virtual MAC address prefix and uses an incorrect format.

D00:42:18:14:05:1e

This MAC address is not the default HSRP virtual MAC address format.
