Selected Answer: B
Multi-Chassis EtherChannel. With inter-chassis SSO, the total switchover time is within a second and when a chassis fails or during a switchover event, all the links on that chassis go down. External switches that are single-homed into the failed chassis experience an outage. It is recommended to dual-home all connections to the SV pair using MEC technology, which primarily load-balances traffic across links, and keeps the traffic impact minimal in the event of chassis or link failure.

Selected Answer: A
must support fast convergence and leverage "as much bandwidth as possible between layers" ->MEC alone could have blocked ports if you dont use an etherchannel

I start to hate this exam. I could be both A & B depending on the layer you are talking about.

Could be but theres a reason they wrote "Distribution switches do support VSS" So it means we should be doing MEC (Multi Chassis Etherchannel) Answer B is 100% correct.
