Refer to the exhibit. The ISP router is fully configured for customer A and customer B using the VRF-Lite feature. What is the minimum configuration required for customer A to communicate between routers A1 and A2?
A.
A1 interface fa0/0 description To->ISP ip add 172.31.100.1 255.255.255.0 no shut ! router ospf 100 net 172.31.100.1 0.0.0.255 area 0 A2 interface fa0/0 description To->ISP ip add 172.31.200.1 255.255.255.0 no shut ! router ospf 100 net 172.31.200.1 0.0.0.255 area 0

I was skeptical if A was correct, but after I labbed, indeed is A. CE routers do not need to configure VRF, however, if VRF was configured, it works as well.
"if VRF was configured, it works as well."
This is a completely valid statement in real life. But for this question, we should select "the minimum" config. That's why A is the only correct answer.
A
Explanation
A1 and A2 routers do not know they belong to VRF A. The two
interfaces of ISP (which are connected to A1 & A2) should be configured like this (we only show the
configure of one interface):
ISP router:
interface g0/0
description ISP->To_CustomerA
ip vrf forwarding A
ip address 172.31.100.2 255.255.255.0
router ospf 100 vrf A
network 172.31.200.2 0.0.0.255 area 0
Its A:
A1 interface fa0/0 description To->ISP
ip add 172.31.100.1 255.255.255.0
no shut
!
router ospf 100 net 172.31.100.1 0.0.0.255 area 0
A2 interface fa0/0 description To->ISP
ip add 172.31.200.1 255.255.255.0
no shut
!
router ospf 100 net 172.31.200.1 0.0.0.255 area 0
A is the correct answer. Firstly, VRF is not configured on the client side that is already completed on the ISP router. Secondly, in the available answers none mentioned the creation of the VRF.
Hello. The question clearly mentions that "The ISP router is FULLY CONFIGURED ... " , not the customer routers... Therefore, the correct answer is A because it doesn't contain any VRF info ( Customers are unaware of the VRF concept ) , and it has the correct IPs. Other than that, all the "vrf-related" answers are incorrect, because they don't mention anywhere the VRF-related creation commands .
The question stated the they need too make use of the VRF lite Feature what implies that VRF Forwarding needs too be used. There is also a type error in the answers

What the question says on ISP vrf is fully configured. that means customer routers are not aware and have not to configue any vrf for this scenario to work.

This is the only config which would work
A1

ip vrf forwarding A
ip add 172.31.100.1 255.255.255.0

VRF on customer rotuers have not any sense if vrf is fully configured on ISP. this is the real use case scenario of VRF. isolate customers routing tables. Lab scenario A and you will notice.
I could be looking at this incorrectly, but if the ISP is fully configured with the proper VRFs on the interfaces connected to A1 and A2, no ip vrf forwarding command is necessary on A1 or A2. All they need is the right IP and Router OSPF with matching areas. With that being said, choice A works with the least amount of effort.
