Option D is the correct answer because, in the context of Auto-RP, sparse-dense mode allows the router to forward Auto-RP messages. Auto-RP uses dense mode multicast groups (224.0.1.39 and 224.0.1.40) to advertise RP mapping information, so enabling sparse-dense mode on the interface ensures that it can process both types of multicast traffic. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) official course materials, which can be found here.

The mpls ldp graceful-restart command is applied in the global configuration mode in IOS XE Software. This command enables MPLS LDP Graceful Restart, which assists a neighboring router with MPLS LDP Stateful Switchover/Nonstop Forwarding (SSO/NSF) Support and Graceful Restart to recover gracefully from an interruption in service without losing its MPLS forwarding state1.

 To align with customer contract SLAs and allow 10% of interface capacity on router R3 for traffic from CE1 towards the FTP server, the network engineer must apply a policy map to R1 to reserve the remaining 10% of interface bandwidth (Option C). Additionally, applying a policy map to R3 to reserve 10% of interface bandwidth (Option D) ensures adherence to the customer’s contract SLAs while utilizing the allocated bandwidth capacity. References: Implementing and Operating Cisco Service Provider Network Core Technologies (SPCOR) - Quality of Service section.
