Which two statements regarding to QoS marking are true? (Choose two)

The correct answer is B. Class-based marking occurs after packet classification D. QoS marking establishes a trust boundary that scheduling tools depend on. QoS marking follows classification and sets authoritative header values that downstream scheduling and queuing tools rely on to enforce priority.

Why each option

QoS marking follows classification and sets authoritative header values that downstream scheduling and queuing tools rely on to enforce priority.

AShaping is one of the ways that packets can be remarked

Traffic shaping delays packets to conform to a configured rate but does not alter QoS marking fields in the packet header; remarking is performed by class-based marking actions, not by shaping.

BClass-based marking occurs after packet classificationCorrect

Class-based marking is a two-step process: a classifier (using ACLs, NBAR, or match criteria) must first identify the traffic class, and only then can a policy-map marking action write the appropriate DSCP, CoS, or IP Precedence value into the packet header.

C802.1Q/p CoS bits and IP Precedence are both layer 3 marking fields

802.1Q/p CoS bits reside in the Layer 2 Ethernet frame header, while IP Precedence resides in the Layer 3 IP ToS byte; they are not both Layer 3 fields.

DQoS marking establishes a trust boundary that scheduling tools depend onCorrect

QoS marking establishes a trust boundary by assigning definitive priority values to packets at a controlled point in the network; scheduling mechanisms such as CBWFQ and LLQ read these marked values to determine forwarding order and bandwidth allocation.

EMPLS EXP and DSCP are both layer 2 marking fields

DSCP is a Layer 3 field within the IP header's Differentiated Services byte, not a Layer 2 field; MPLS EXP (TC) bits reside in the MPLS label header, which is commonly referred to as Layer 2.5, not standard Layer 2.
