Correct answer: Configure VLAN 1200 with IP address 172.12.0.2/24, HSRP version 2, virtual IP 172.12.0.254, and preemption..
Why this is the answer
The correct answer specifies the interface IP address for SW1 as 172.12.0.2/24, which is a valid host IP within the subnet. It correctly identifies the virtual IP as 172.12.0.254, which is the last usable IP in the 172.12.0.0/24 subnet. HSRP version 2 is a modern best practice, and preemption ensures that a higher-priority router takes over as active when it becomes available. The first incorrect option assigns the virtual IP (172.12.0.2) as the interface IP, which is incorrect. The third incorrect option omits HSRP version 2, which is important for features like multiple HSRP groups per interface. The fourth incorrect option uses an interface IP of 172.12.0.1, which is not specified in the question, and omits HSRP version 2.
