I feel like it could also involve the source address, but I can't recall if that's relevant for routing decisions.

I think we need to look at the destination address of the IP header, but I'm not completely sure if that's the only thing we compare.

I guess option A could work if it was a source-based routing scenario, but in a typical unicast forwarding case, it's all about the destination IP, baby!

Lol, option E? Seriously? The inbound port? That's just silly. Routers care about the IP destination, not the physical port.

Hmm, the destination address of the IP header seems like the logical choice here. That's what the router uses to look up the appropriate path in the routing table.
