Option C is correct. The administrative distance for a static route is 10, which is lower than the default distance for many other routing protocols. This makes static routes more preferred by the router.

Hah! The higher administrative distance is definitely not preferred. That's like saying the bigger your debt, the more the bank trusts you. Clearly, option D is incorrect.

The administrative distance is used as a trust rating for route entries. This helps the router determine which routing protocol to prioritize when multiple routes to the same destination are available.

I believe the higher administrative distance is preferred because it indicates a more reliable route.

I agree with you, Salome. It helps routers choose the best route when there are multiple options available.
