The correct answer is A V2.

The Fontainebleau scale is primarily used for grading bouldering problems and ranges from very easy grades to extremely difficult ones. In this scale, V2 is considered a mid-range difficulty, whereas 1A, 1C, and 8C plus do not correctly represent the progression of the scale. 8C plus is exceptionally challenging and would not be appropriate for typical boulder problems analyzed at the Fontainebleau scale.
