It is only used at Layer 2.
It eliminates Layer 2 loops in network topologies.
d. A broadcast storm
Allows for redundant links by eliminating loops.
the disadvantage os stp that it is time consuming.
STP stand for Spaning Tree Protocol. It's used to avoid the L2 loop in the network. many factor are belong to STP. such as Root Switch, BPDU, Root Port, Forward port, blocking port.
To find a spanning tree in a given graph, you can use algorithms like Prim's or Kruskal's. These algorithms help identify the minimum weight edges that connect all the vertices in the graph without forming any cycles. The resulting tree will be a spanning tree of the original graph.
STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) is still referred to as STP. However, there are newer variations of STP such as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).
Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)
A spanning tree protocol, or STP, is characteristic to a LAN. It provides a loop-free topology for networks within the system.

Spanning tree protocol
Allows for redundant links by eliminating loops.
the disadvantage os stp that it is time consuming.
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) does not set up trunk links, it is used to remove logical (Layer 2: Data Link) loops in a network in case there is layer 1 (Physical) redundancy
In order to prevent broadcast storms and other side effects of looping, Digital Equipment Corporation created the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
The switch is receiving BPDUs and populating the MAC address table, but not sending data.
