Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

The issue with Router B's FastEthernet interface is that it is in an administratively down state (shutdown). The 'no shutdown' command will bring the interface up, allowing it to pass traffic. This is a common configuration command that reactivates an interface that was manually disabled. Clock rate is for serial DCE interfaces, description is just a label, and ip address is for assigning addressing (not needed if already configured but interface is shutdown).
