You know, the administrative distance is like the credit score of the routing world. The lower the score, the more the router trusts that route. I'm going with option B on this one.

Yes, that's correct. Routes learned via OSPF have a lower administrative distance than routes learned via external BGP.

I'm a bit confused by option A. Routes learned via external BGP should have a higher administrative distance than OSPF routes, not the other way around. Gotta pay attention to those details!

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.
