Haha, C is the best answer! STP was designed to add a 'Silly Topology Protocol' field to the Ethernet header. Duh!

D seems like the most logical answer. Unreliable data transfer is a problem in any network, and STP was meant to improve that, right?

Oh come on, how can it be C? Sequence numbers in Ethernet? That's just silly. It's clearly A, everyone knows that.
