The native VLAN is the only VLAN which is not tagged in a trunk, and native VLAN frames are transmitted unchanged.

VLAN Tagging is the practice of inserting a VLAN ID into a packet header in order to identify which VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) the packet belongs to.

802.1Q trunking ports carry all the traffic of all VLANs so it cannot be the secure ports. A secure port should be only configured to connect with terminal devices (hosts, printers, servers…) -> B is not correct.

The Inter-Switch Link (ISL) encapsulation requires FastEthernet or greater to operate but 802.1q supports 10Mb/s Ethernet interfaces. -> C is correct.

802.1Q supports point-to-multipoint connectivity. Although in Cisco implementation, a “trunk” is considered a point-to-point link but 802.1q encapsulation can be used on an Ethernet segment shared by more than two devices. Such a configuration is seldom needed but is still possible with the disablement of DTP negotiation. -> D is not correct

The native VLAN that is configured on each end of an 802.1Q trunk must be the same. This is because when a switch receives an untagged frame, it will assign that frame to the native VLAN. If one end is configured VLAN1 as the native VLAN while the other end is configured VLAN2 as the native VLAN, a frame sent in VLAN1 on one side will be received on VLAN2 on the other side -> E is correct.
