But doesn't RPF check require a shared-tree state to be performed?

I'm leaning towards option B as well. The shared-tree state seems to be the key factor here, and the RPF check on the RP address makes sense in that context.

Yes, having a shared-tree state is crucial for the RPF check to be performed on the RP address.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The question is a bit tricky, but I think option C might be the correct answer. The source-tree state seems like the more relevant condition for the RPF check.

Actually, I believe the correct answer is option D. The RPF check is performed when the PIM DM device receives a multicast packet and has no directly connected PIM neighbor.

I think option C is correct too. Source-tree state makes sense for the RPF check.

I agree with Carol. The RPF check is a crucial step in multicast routing, and it makes sense that it would be done on the RP address in a shared-tree scenario.

Option B seems like the most logical choice here. The RPF check is performed on the RP address when the PIM router or switch is in a shared-tree state.

Yes, when the PIM router or switch has a shared-tree state, the RPF check is necessary.
