Explanation:
To elect the root bridge in the LAN, first check the priority value. The switch having the lowest
priority will win the election process. If Priority Value is the same then it checks the MAC Address;
the switch having the lowest MAC Address will become the root bridge. In this case, switch C has
the lowest MAC Address so it becomes the root bridge.
