   • CThey check the master's routing table via SNMP
   • DThey send periodic hello packets to the master

   A network engineer configures VRRP on a pair of Dell PowerSwitch switches acting as the default gateway for a campus VLAN. The engineer sets the priority of switch A to 120 and leaves switch B at the default priority. Both switches are configured with the same virtual router ID and virtual IP address. After the configuration is applied, the engineer notices that switch B is operating as the master. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?

   • ASwitch A has preemption disabled, so it does not take over the master role from switch B even though it has a higher priority.
   • BSwitch A is still in the Initialize state because its virtual IP address is not yet active on the interface.
   • CSwitch A has not yet received an advertisement from switch B, so it remains in the Backup state.
   • DSwitch B has a higher physical interface MAC address, which breaks the priority tie.
