Hierarchical design of OSPF (basically means that you can separate the larger internetwork into smaller internetworks called areas) helps us create a network with all features listed above (decrease routing overhead, speed up convergence, confine network instability to single areas of the network).

Also answer F was not so bad! The link posted by Ratu68 says also: "makes design easier"... But I definitely agree on ABE.

Not D because you're not increasing bandwidth, you're decreasing ospf related multicast traffic

OSPF uses a hierarchical design. Commonly, large OSPf uses this hierarchical design. The main reasons for using this design are the following: To reduce the routing overhead. For faster convergence. To converge all the instabilities into a particular area. https://snabaynetworking.com/what-is-ospf-area-ospf-hierarchical-network-design-and-advantages/

Could D an option too? If you have less Overhead, because of building more areas, you can encrease the Bandtwith.

In essence of what areas are for and hierarchical design ,those answers given are bestest out of maybe some others like D

No because summary routes would take care of this most of the time, making it not that much more complex.
