Anil, I'm sorry, my explaination wasn't very good. The answer can't be B since you have no information saying data is being sent and received. The answer A does fit since a frame relay connection is active if int status is UP/UP.
As far as the 2nd part, AFAIK not every encap uses keepalives. Frame Relay is somewhat special in that an UP/UP status really means that data COULD be xfer'ed. The case of the broken remote CSU/DSU does not fit this scenarios since keepalives would not be received. The question seems geared toward trying to trick the engineer into thinking that data is being xfered vs. could be. Many encap use keepalives. A few are F/R, ATM, PPP and HDLC (PPP uses an echo). Not sure if all do (probably not). Hope that helps.
