Answer:

The best answer is "B"

IP addresses on the subinterfaces are incorrectly matched to the VLANs.

Step-by-step explanation:

RT1 for inter-VLAN routing:

VLANs are majorly used to divide broadcast domains in a LAN environment. Whenever hosts in one VLAN needs to interact with hosts in another VLAN, the traffic must be routed between them. This is referred to as an Inter-VLAN routing.

IP address: An Internet Protocol address and it's more like a numerical label assign to each device connected to a computer network.

This interaction cannot be established if the IP address on the subinterfaces are incorrectly matched to the VLANs.
