Answer options B & D are for phase 2, so they are ruled out.
From A & C, answer looks like C because phase 1 means main mode, which has no state as shown by the error message - 'MM_NO_STATE'.

Answer is C. ISAKMP packets would be dropped if that were the case, not ESP packets.

Selected Answer: C
should be C
A show crypto isakmp sa command shows the ISAKMP SA inMM_NO_STATE. This also means that main mode has failed.
dst src state conn-id slot
10.1.1.2 10.1.1.1 MM_NO_STATE 1 0
Check that the phase 1 policy exists on both peers, and make sure every attribute matches.

Selected Answer: C
B and D will give you the MM_NO_STATE temporarily if they were configured and then removed, and they will end up staying in QM_IDLE so if they were never configured the MM_NO_STATE will not show up, but C will always give you MM_NO_STATE
