A Correct answer
Explanation

Spanning Tree convergence begins with electing a root bridge - all switches exchange BPDU messages to determine which switch has the lowest bridge ID and becomes the root. Only after root bridge election can other steps occur: designated port selection, blocking non-designated ports, and finalizing the topology.
