Hello Ali,
VRRP is standard based and can work in a multivendor context
HSRP is Cisco proprietary.
The two protocols provide default gateway redundancy
see
b) MST and PVST
Per vlan STP executes an STP instance for each L2 vlan that has a port (access or trunk) associated to it.
MST 802.1s standard allows to use up to 16 STP instances to represent 4094 vlans.
so in MST multiple vlans are associated to a single STP instance (each instance is rapid SPT 802.1w)
this provides scalability
Hope to help
