A.
Devices connected to interfaces FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 are sending BPDUs with a superior root bridge parameter and no traffic is forwarded across the ports. Once inaccurate BPDUs have been stopped, the interfaces will need to be administratively shut down, and brought back up, to resume normal operation.

B.
Devices connected to interfaces FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 are sending BPDUs with a superior root bridge parameter, but traffic is still forwarded across the ports.

C.
Devices connected to interfaces FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 are sending BPDUs with a superior root bridge parameter and no traffic is forwarded across the ports. Once inaccurate BPDUs have been stopped, the interfaces automatically recover and resume normal operation.

D.
Interfaces FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 are candidate for becoming the STP root port, but neither can realize that role until BPDUs with a superior root bridge parameter are no longer received on at least one of the interfaces.

Explanation:
Root guard is configured on a per-port basis. If a superior BPDU is received on the port, root guard does not take the BPDU into account and so puts the port into a root-inconsistent sate. When devices connected on FastEthernet3/1 and FastEthernet3/2 stops sending superior BPDUs, the port will be unblocked again and will transition through STP states like any other port.
