BFCP configuration tips - To enable BFCP in Cisco Unified Communications Manager, check the Allow Presentation Sharing using BFCP check box in the SIP Profile Configuration window.
If the check box is unchecked, all BFCP offers will be rejected.
By default, the check box is unchecked.
BFCP is supported only on full SIP networks.
For presentation sharing to work, BFCP must be enabled for all SIP endpoints as well as all SIP lines and SIP trunks between the endpoints.
CUCM uses BFCP over user datagram protocol (UDP) in both secure and non-secure BFCP modes.

BFCP (Binary Floor Control Protocol) is a protocol used in video conferencing systems to enable participants to share content with one another, such as slides, documents, or videos. Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) is a call processing component of the Cisco Unified Communications System that provides voice, video, messaging, mobility, and web conferencing services.
To answer the question, let's go through each answer option:
A. BFCP is supported only on full SIP networks. This statement is false. While BFCP is most commonly used in SIP-based video conferencing systems, it is not limited to SIP networks. BFCP can also be used with H.323-based video conferencing systems.
B. Cisco Unified Communications Manager allows BFCP only over UDP. This statement is true. BFCP is only supported over UDP (User Datagram Protocol) by CUCM.
C. BFCP is not supported for third-party endpoints. This statement is false. CUCM supports BFCP for third-party endpoints that are registered with the system.
D. BFCP is not supported through Cisco Unified Border Element. This statement is true. BFCP is not supported through Cisco Unified Border Element (CUBE). If BFCP is required for video conferencing across a firewall or other boundary, a separate traversal server, such as Cisco Expressway, can be used.
E. BFCP is supported between Cisco Unified Communications Manager and a TelePresence MCU. This statement is true. BFCP is supported between CUCM and a TelePresence MCU (Multipoint Control Unit), which is a video conferencing bridge that allows multiple participants to join a conference.
In summary, the two statements that are true about BFCP with CUCM are:
