A. LACP
B. PAgP
C. MEC
D. EOA

C. MEC
Multi-chassis EtherChannel:
Multi-chassis EtherChannel (MEC) is a Layer 2 multipathing technology. This form of EtherChannel allows a connected node to terminate the EtherChannel across the two physical Cisco Catalyst 6500/6800 Series Switches that make up the VSS leading to creating simplified loop-free Layer 2 topology.
