Ah, the old 'trick question' trick. I see what they're doing here. But I'm not going to fall for it - Server 2 is definitely isolated from the core, so C is the right answer. Nice try, though!

Haha, looks like someone's trying to trick us with this question. But I'm not falling for it - the answer is clearly C. Server 2 is cut off from the core, no matter how many keepalive links they have.

Server 2 can definitely access the core layer via the keepalive link. The question clearly states that the ISL link has failed, but the keepalive interface is still functioning, so that's the only way for Server 2 to reach the core.
