The correct answer is A. Configure keepalive using mgmt ports between SW-A and SW-B. The accidental disconnection removed the ISL links between the VSX peers.

Explanation

The accidental disconnection removed the ISL links between the VSX peers. Without a functioning VSX keepalive, the secondary switch cannot determine whether the primary is still active, which may lead to both switches forwarding as active devices and causing traffic Using the management ports as the VSX keepalive channel ensures split-brain detection and prevents user traffic interruption when the ISL goes down.
