When combining Strict Priority (SP) with other queuing types, how can you avoid starvation of lower priority queues?
The correct answer is C. Apply shaping to queue 7. Strict Priority (SP) queues are always serviced first and can starve lower-priority queues if they carry enough traffic. To prevent this, you must apply shaping to the SP queue, which limits how much bandwidth SP can consume and preserves bandwidth for other queues. Shaping…

Explanation
Strict Priority (SP) queues are always serviced first and can starve lower-priority queues if they carry enough traffic. To prevent this, you must apply shaping to the SP queue, which limits how much bandwidth SP can consume and preserves bandwidth for other queues. Shaping queue 7 (the SP queue) ensures that lower-priority queues still receive service and prevents starvation.
