What is a characteristic of traffic shaping?
Traffic shaping is a network management technique used to control the volume and rate of traffic sent into a network. One of its primary characteristics is that it queues out-of-profile packets until the buffer is full. This helps manage congestion and ensure a smoother flow of traffic.

Answer is correct
C is correct
D is correct
Answer D is part of shaping. With policing the out-of-profile packets are dropped. The best answer in this list is C.
My Apologies I saw the same exact question only it had policing instead of shaping. You are correct.
D https://avinetworks.com/glossary/traffic-shaping/ Transitioning from a high speed interface to a low speed interface can cause egress blocking: tail drop or packet loss in the outgoing queue. Prevent this issue by configuring egress traffic shaping to ensure all packets are eventually sent, at least until the buffer fills.
Another consideration is that queueing packets up to be sent later—traffic shaping—can only ever apply to outbound traffic. True inbound traffic shaping does not exist, because inbound traffic is the realm of traffic policing. https://avinetworks.com/glossary/traffic-shaping/#:~:text=Another%20consideration%20is%20that%20queueing,the%20realm%20of%20traffic%20policing.
