Selected Answer: C
In Penultimate Hop Popping (PHP), the penultimate router (the second-to-last router in the path) removes (or "pops off") the MPLS transport label, not the last router (which is the egress LSR). The last P router (egress LSR) simply forwards the unlabeled packet to the Customer Edge (CE) router, without performing any label operations.

A is correct. This way the PE receives a packet without the LDP label, and doesn't have to do an extra lookup in the LFIB before forwarding the packet to a non-MPLS router like CE.

Selected Answer: A
its A: PHP can be performed in frame-based MPLS networks. In these networks, the last P router in the LSP tunnel pops the LDP label as previously requested by the egress PE router through LDP. So, the PE router receives a labeled packet that contains only the VPN label.
