Also think it is A. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5500/sw/fabricpath/7x/fp_n5500_config/fp_n5500_interfaces.html "The active HSRP router advertises the anycast switch ID as the source switch ID in FabricPath IS-IS. The leaf switches learn that the anycast switch ID is reachable by all of the routers in the group. Cisco NX-OS supports a maximum of four gateways." It wouldn't be B since it's asking the advantage of anycast HSRP over HSRP version 2.

Couldnt be A? https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/switches/nexus-9000-series-switches/white-paper-c11-740217.html With FabricPath, a four-way all-active first-hop gateway approach exists with the usage of anycast HSRP.
