A queue is configured with the following attributes:

MBS = 10KB

CBS = 5KB

High-Priority-Only = 20%

Assume that there is no CBS overbooking and that the slope-policy is disabled.

If the current queue depth is 3KB, what will happen to an out-of-profile packet arriving at an egress queue?
A . It will be queued in the reserved portion of the buffer pool and remain out-of-profile.
B . It will be queued in the reserved portion of the buffer pool if there are no in-profile packets already in the queue.
C . It will be queued in the reserved portion of the buffer pool and be in-profile.
D . It will be queued in the shared portion of the buffer pool but contend for shared buffer space with packets from other queues.
E . It will be queued in the shared portion of the buffer pool but may be dropped if the buffer utilization exceeds the start-average value of the low slope.
