H12-821_V1.0 · Question #769
The OSPF network type that does not elect DR/BDR is p2p type.
The correct answer is B. FALSE. B is correct because the statement is false in its implication that point-to-point (p2p) is the only OSPF network type that skips DR/BDR election. In reality, point-to-multipoint networks also do not elect a DR/BDR, making the claim incomplete and therefore false. Why A (TRUE)…

Explanation
B is correct because the statement is false in its implication that point-to-point (p2p) is the only OSPF network type that skips DR/BDR election. In reality, point-to-multipoint networks also do not elect a DR/BDR, making the claim incomplete and therefore false.
Why A (TRUE) is wrong: While it is accurate that p2p networks do bypass DR/BDR election (since there are only two routers and no need for a designated representative), selecting TRUE accepts the premise that p2p is the singular exception - which overlooks point-to-multipoint as a second type that also forgoes DR/BDR election.
Memory tip: Think "P2 skips DR" - both Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint skip DR/BDR, while Broadcast and NBMA (Non-Broadcast Multi-Access) require it. If you remember that two P-type networks avoid DR/BDR, you'll know any statement naming only one of them as "the" exception is incomplete.
