https://howdoesinternetwork.com/2018/bfd provides a pretty clear explanation. As the connection to ISP-1 is via a switch, BFD clearly helps here.

It's D as Next-hop scans every 60 seconds, that's not sub-second as required. Also it doesn't say we cannot ask the ISP to add BFD. I worked for an ISP and we would implement BFD if customers wanted it.

Selected Answer: B
BFD requires you to apply config on both routers. Since you do not have control over the ISP router I would think it would not be an option and B would be the answer.

BFD provides sub-second failure detection (https://howdoesinternetwork.com/2018/bfd), and next-hop tracking is enabled in IOS by default (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/12_2sb/feature/guide/sbbnhop.html) and has a 5 second delay by default. So, I strongly believe it's BFD
