Answer says "trunk" I believe that is WRONG, and the answer should be LAG
Here is why:
• LAG and EtherChannel are closely related; both refer to bundling multiple physical links between switches to increase bandwidth and provide redundancy.
• EtherChannel is Cisco’s proprietary implementation of LAG.
• Trunk is used to carry multiple VLANs between switches, but doesn’t inherently increase bandwidth.
• Access refers to ports that connect end devices and carry traffic for a single VLAN—unrelated to inter-switch bandwidth.
Thanks
