R4 is directly connected to both RPs (R2 and R3). R4 is currently sending all joins upstream to R3 but you want all joins to go to R2 instead.
Referring to the exhibit, which configuration change will solve this issue?

To have all joins go to R2 instead of R3, you should change the bootstrap priority on R2 to be higher than R3. The bootstrap router (BSR) priority determines which router is preferred as the RP for the group ranges it advertises. If R2 has a higher priority than R3, R4 will prefer R2 for sending joins. This can be configured by setting a higher priority value on R2's bootstrap configuration.

When two RPs advertise the exact same groups then we will prefer the RP with the highest priority. Unlike the BSR selection, highest priority for RP selection means the lowest priority value (0 is the highest priority). The priority is a value we can configure on the RP. D is Correct
