What can be configured on the PE routers to allow the internal OSPF routes in Area 3 to show up as summary (Type 3) LSAs in CE2?

Refer to the Exhibit

In the exhibit, a working Layer 3 VPN exists between all routers. No OSPF domain IDs are
configured or attached in advertisements.

Answer is A.

When a PE router receives a route, it redistributes and advertises the route as either a Type 3 LSA or a Type 5 LSA, depending on the following:

If the receiving PE router sees a Type 3 route with a matching domain ID, the route is redistributed and advertised as a Type 3 LSA.
If the receiving PE router sees a Type 3 route without a domain ID (the extended attribute field of the route’s BGP update does not include a domain ID), the route is redistributed and advertised as a Type 3 LSA.
If the receiving PE router sees a Type 3 route with a non-matching domain ID, the route is redistributed and advertised as a Type 5 LSA.
If the receiving PE router sees a Type 3 route with a domain ID, but the router does not have a domain ID configured, the route is redistributed and advertised as a Type 5 LSA.
If the receiving PE router sees a Type 5 route, the route is redistributed and advertised as a Type 5 LSA, regardless of the domain ID.

If PE1 doesn’t have a domain-id configured, then configuring a domain-id on PE2 will cause the router to be advertised to CE2 as a type 3 LSA. >> Answer C.

lack of domain ID causes implicit match. Answer B
