The correct answer is B. Leaf devices are full-mesh connected. D. Top-of-rack switches provide VXLAN support. In a collapsed fabric architecture, the leaf devices act as both leaf and spine switches: Leaf devices are full-mesh connected - because there is no dedicated spine layer, leaves interconnect directly with each other in a full mesh.

Explanation
In a collapsed fabric architecture, the leaf devices act as both leaf and spine switches: Leaf devices are full-mesh connected - because there is no dedicated spine layer, leaves interconnect directly with each other in a full mesh. Top-of-rack switches (leaves) provide VXLAN support - they handle both access (server connectivity) and overlay/EVPN-VXLAN functionality.
