Option A is correct. Creating multiple areas in OSPF can help to reduce the convergence time . This is because changes in one area do not affect other areas, so fewer routers need to run the SPF algorithm in response to a change.

Option D is correct. Creating multiple areas in OSPF can help to reduce Link State Advertisement (LSA) flooding across the network. This is because LSAs are not flooded out of their area of origin.

In OSPF, the Designated Router (DR) and Backup Designated Router (BDR) are elected based on the priority of the routers1. The router with the highest priority becomes the DR, and the router with the second highest priority becomes the BDR1. If there is a tie in priority, then the router with the highest Router ID is chosen1.

In this scenario, R2 has a higher priority (64) than R1 (32), so R2 will become the DR1. Since R1 has the second highest priority, it will become the BDR1. Therefore, option D is correct.

 In a Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) topology, the root bridge is determined by the switch with the lowest bridge priority value12. If all switches have the same priority, then the root bridge is assigned to the switch whose MAC address’s hex value is the lowest2. The default bridge priority value is 3276832. However, without the actual exhibit, it’s difficult to definitively determine which device is the root bridge. But based on the options provided, if we assume that the local device has a lower bridge priority or a lower MAC address than other devices in the network, then it could be considered as the root bridge for this RSTP topology45.
