Haha, this is a classic BGP troubleshooting scenario. I bet the administrator forgot to activate the IPv4 unicast address family for the BGP neighbor. Option C looks like the way to go here.

I'm not sure, but I think option C) router bgp 64500 address-family ipv4 unicast neighbor 192.168.1.1 activate could also be a solution.

I agree with Demetra, setting up ebgp-multihop should fix the issue.

Hmm, the administrator has already configured the BGP process and the neighbor address, but the session isn't coming up. I'd say the issue is probably with the TCP session establishment. Maybe the administrator needs to configure eBGP multihop to allow the session to be established across the directly-connected interfaces. Option A could be the fix.

I think you're right, the eBGP multihop configuration might be necessary for the session to come up.

Wait, the state isn't 'Established'? That's a bummer. I think the administrator needs to configure the BGP neighbor to use the loopback interface to establish the session. Option D looks like the right solution here.

Yes, configuring the BGP neighbor to use the loopback interface should fix the issue.
