Admin: The question only asks for one answer, so why is D selected as correct?

good question thought I was seeing things. both seem to be correct answers:

switchport port-security mac-address 0000.1111.1111
switchport port-security maximum 2

would mean 2 computers can connect with one being that specific mac address 0000.1111.1111

sorry looks like I did not answer your question completely. no other violation = default which is 1) shutdown & 2) logs via snmp or syslog
