In a vPC (Virtual Port-Channel) environment, multicast traffic is expected to be replicated to the ports that have joined the multicast group and also across the peer link. This ensures that in case of a failure scenario, orphan ports, which are ports not part of the vPC and only connected to one of the vPC peer switches, still receive the multicast stream. Option C correctly describes this behavior, where the multicast traffic is replicated to the ports that joined a given multicast group and the peer link, and the multicast traffic stream flows over the peer link to ensure that orphan ports receive the multicast stream in failure scenarios12.
