This is a very poorly worded question.
Is this question saying that the only time a Root link query Protocol
Data Unit is sent is when BackboneFast is configured?
I would have to disagree with that.
STP always responds to root link queries if it is enabled on the
LAN/VLAN. How screwed up would your spanning tree topology get if it
didn't?
By the way STP is enabled by default on VLAN 1 on both the 5000 and the
3550 so it would respond to Root link queries by default.
Also you can set the diameter to two on the root or secondary switch or
change the forward delay manually to twice the root delay setting and
answer this question.
In addition BackboneFast only works in certain topologies with a minimum
of three switches and it is only invoked when an indirect link failure
is detected in the STP topology.

I believe they are asking you to enable backbone fast and set a forward
delay of 30 seconds.
Both can be found by searching CCO. Backbone fast. Forward delay.
