Which two design option are available to dynamically discover the RP in an IPv6 multicast network? (Choose two)
The correct answer is A. embedded RP C. BSR. In IPv6 PIM-SM networks, Embedded RP and BSR are the two standard mechanisms for dynamically discovering the Rendezvous Point without static configuration.

Why each option
In IPv6 PIM-SM networks, Embedded RP and BSR are the two standard mechanisms for dynamically discovering the Rendezvous Point without static configuration.
Embedded RP is an IPv6-specific mechanism defined in RFC 3956 where the RP address is encoded directly within the multicast group address, allowing any router to dynamically determine the RP without additional signaling or protocol state.
MSDP is used to interconnect multiple PIM-SM domains and share active source information between them, not to discover the RP within a single domain, and it does not support IPv6.
Bootstrap Router (BSR) is a PIM-SM standard mechanism defined in RFC 5059 that dynamically distributes RP-to-group mapping information throughout a PIM domain and fully supports IPv6 multicast networks.
Auto-RP is a Cisco proprietary protocol designed exclusively for IPv4 PIM-SM networks and is not supported in IPv6 multicast environments.
MLD is the IPv6 equivalent of IGMP used for host-to-router group membership reporting and has no role in RP discovery within a PIM domain.
