Correct answer: 00-00-5e-00-01-0a.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is 00-00-5e-00-01-0a. VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) uses a specific MAC address format for its virtual routers to ensure proper frame forwarding. The standard format for IPv4 VRRP virtual MAC addresses is 00-00-5e-00-01-XX, where XX is the hexadecimal representation of the VRRP group ID. In this case, the virtual router ID is 10, which is represented as '0a' in hexadecimal. Therefore, the virtual MAC address is 00-00-5e-00-01-0a. The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the standard VRRP IPv4 MAC address format. 00-00-0c-07-ac-0a is a common HSRP (Hot Standby Router Protocol) MAC address. 00-07-b4-00-00-0a is not a standard VRRP or HSRP format. 01-00-5e-00-01-0a is incorrect because the first octet '01' indicates a multicast address, but the VRRP virtual MAC address starts with '00'.
