Haha, I bet the engineer wishes they had a magic wand to make all those networks disappear. Option B is the way to go, no doubt.

I can imagine how tedious it would be to manually define each network. Option B is a lifesaver in this situation.

Time to put on my network engineer hat! I'd go with B. Aggregate-address is the way to keep those pesky service providers happy.

I'm not sure, but I think enabling auto-summarization in the BGP configuration could also work. It's worth considering as an option.

Option C seems tempting, but I'm not sure if auto-summarization is the best idea in this case. Better to have more control over the summarized route.
