Company XYZ, a global content provider, owns data centers on different continents. Their data center design involves a standard three-layer design with a Layer 3-only core. HSRP is used as the FHRP. They require VLAN extension across access switches in all data centers, and they plan to purchase a Layer 2 interconnection between two of their data centers in Europe. In the absence of other business or technical constraints, which termination point is optimal for the Layer 2 interconnection?
A. t the core layer, to otter the possibility to isolate STP domains
B. t me aggregation layer because it is the Layer 2 to Layer 3 demarcation point
C. t the access layer because the STP root bridge does not need to align with the HSRP active node
D. t the core layer because all external connections must terminate there for security reasons
