I thought EIGRP was the one that required it?

RIP doesn’t need an AS, that’s for sure.

Wait, are we sure about FHRP? Seems off.

I feel like RIP doesn’t need an autonomous system, but I can't recall the details about OSPF and EIGRP clearly.

I’m a bit confused about FHRP. Does it even use autonomous systems, or is it just for redundancy?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think EIGRP is the one that requires an autonomous system.

I think OSPF needs an autonomous system, but I'm not entirely sure if EIGRP does too.

I remember learning that FHRP stands for First Hop Redundancy Protocol, which doesn't seem relevant to this question about routing protocols. I'll eliminate option C.

OSPF also requires an autonomous system to be configured, so that's another option to consider. I'll review the key characteristics of each protocol.

I'm pretty sure EIGRP needs an autonomous system number to communicate with neighbors, so I'll go with option B.
