Refer to the exhibit.

Originally, all four switches had the same region configuration. VLAN 14 was added to Switch_D and then mapped to instance 2.
How does this affect the MSTP topology?

How does this affect the MSTP topology?
When there is a mismatch in VLAN-to-instance mapping in MSTP between switches within the same region, the switches will consider it as a configuration inconsistency. This causes one of the uplinks to be blocked to prevent potential loops and preserve network stability. In this scenario, the mismatch will cause one of the uplinks between the switches to be blocked for all traffic on both Switch_C and Switch_D, thereby resulting in a loss of load sharing.
Why its blocked . Is it due to Mismatch in the vlan in IST
