Explanation

Huawei switches require three separate steps for DHCP-Snooping to take work:
1) enable it globally (system-view);
2) enable it in each VLAN that must be protected;
3) mark individual interfaces as trusted if required. There is no command that “enables DHCP-Snooping in the interface view”; the only interface-level command is dhcp snooping trust, which merely changes the trust state of that port. Therefore statement C is wrong. Statements A, B and D exactly match Huawei’s documented default behaviors, so they are correct.

Why Incorrect

A. Accurate: all ports start untrusted; configuring trusted ports thwarts rogue-DHCP attacks.
B. Accurate: running dhcp snooping enable (with no parameter) activates processing only for DHCPv4.
D. Accurate: dhcp snooping enable in VLAN view applies to all interfaces that carry that VLAN; packets in the VLAN are inspected.
