I believe the answer is B, 90, since EIGRP is preferred over OSPF. But I should double-check my notes just to be safe!

I’m a bit confused about the distances. I thought OSPF was 110, but I can't recall if EIGRP is 90 or something else.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think OSPF is 110 and EIGRP is 90. So, I guess the route from EIGRP would be preferred?

Okay, I've got this. OSPF has an administrative distance of 110, while EIGRP has an administrative distance of 90. So the route from the EIGRP neighbor will be installed in the routing table.

This is a tricky one, but I'm pretty sure the answer is D. EIGRP and OSPF have different default administrative distances, so the EIGRP route will take precedence.

Hmm, I think the administrative distance for the EIGRP route would be the correct answer here. EIGRP has a lower AD than OSPF, so that's my pick.
