Explanation

VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) is a Cisco proprietary protocol that allows VLAN configuration to be managed from a single switch (the VTP server) and automatically propagated to all other switches (VTP clients) in the same VTP domain over trunk links. This eliminates the need to manually configure VLANs on every switch. An FTP server (A) is a file transfer service with no VLAN management function. A Virtual PBX (C) is a phone system. An NTP server (D) synchronizes clocks across devices but has no role in VLAN configuration.
