Explanation

VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) elects a Master router based on priority values. When SW9621-2 comes back online, if it has a higher VRRP priority than the currently active master (SW9621-1), and VRRP preemption is enabled (which is the default), SW9621-2 will immediately send advertisements claiming mastership. SW9621-1, receiving advertisements with a higher priority, will demote itself to Backup. Therefore SW9621-2 becomes the new active master without delay. The exhibit implies SW9621-2 has the higher priority. Answer D (after 3 seconds) would apply to a specific preemption delay timer configuration, which is not indicated here. Answers B and C incorrectly assume SW9621-1 retains or reclaims mastership.
