I think the purpose is to change the encapsulation to dot1q because isl is a Cisco proprietary protocol

The question says the two companies use separate vendors, this means one of them uses third-party switches while the other may or may not use Cisco switches. We need an open-standard trunking protocol, do1q is open-standard. ISL is Cisco proprietary and can't be used.

Correct and dynamic desirable mode is only for DTP which is also Cisco proprietary

Need to set trunk and encapsulation dot1q, so "A" is the correct answer.

Selected Answer: B
This configuration sets the interface to trunk mode (switchport mode trunk), allows all VLANs to pass through the trunk (switchport trunk allowed vlan all), and specifies the trunk encapsulation method as IEEE 802.1Q (switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q). Option A is incorrect because it does not explicitly allow all VLANs to pass through the trunk. Option C is incorrect because it sets the interface to dynamic desirable mode, which would try to negotiate trunking with the neighboring switch. Additionally, setting the native VLAN to VLAN 7 might not be appropriate if VLANs are being merged between the two companies. Option D is incorrect because it sets the interface to dynamic auto mode, which means it would passively wait for the neighboring switch to initiate trunking negotiation. Additionally, the switchport nonegotiate command is not necessary in this context.

Selected Answer: A
The command "switchport dot1q ethertype 0800" is not required in this context and doesn't play a role in joining VLANs between two switches. The "switchport dot1q ethertype" command is used to specify a particular EtherType to be used for tagging VLANs. The default EtherType for 802.1Q tagging is 0x8100, which is used to indicate that the frame carries VLAN information. The value 0800 corresponds to the EtherType for IPv4.
