    The answer is D. Implement STP or RSTP.

    Explanation:

    STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) was built to serve as a remedy for network issues. Existing before switches were developed, it works as a substitute for a switch when a switch is wired incorrectly (as seen in the question) or when it fails. STP has two roles:

    To serve as an alternative when there is network failure or changes. To block out issues caused by loops on a network

    RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) was built to optimize the standard STP. When there is a topology change, spanning tree convergence is much faster than the standard STP.

    To prevent network failure in the future, STP or RSTP should be implemented.
