Correct answer: Named mode allows multiple address-families under a single EIGRP instance and per-address-family configuration.
Why this is the answer
EIGRP named mode, introduced to support multiple address families (IPv4, IPv6, VRF-lite), allows you to configure different address families within a single EIGRP process. This provides greater flexibility and organization compared to classic mode, where each address family or VRF required a separate EIGRP process. DUAL (Diffusing Update Algorithm) remains the core convergence algorithm for EIGRP in both classic and named modes. Named mode supports both IPv4 and IPv6, not just IPv6. For VRFs, named mode allows you to configure them under specific address families within a single EIGRP instance, rather than requiring separate router eigrp processes.
