B is the only one that seems safe to ask.

Jane shouldn't ask about age or kids, that's illegal!

I feel like I've seen a practice question similar to this one, and it emphasized avoiding personal questions.

I think the question about hours is okay because it relates directly to job requirements, but I'm not sure about the others.

I remember we discussed that questions about personal life, like asking about children, are usually off-limits in interviews.

I’m a bit confused; I thought asking where someone is from could be seen as personal too, but maybe it’s more acceptable than the others?

The question is a bit confusing to me. I'm not entirely sure what the "static data collection process step" refers to in this context. I'll have to review my notes on digital forensics to see if I can figure this out.

This looks straightforward enough. I'll start by quickly scanning the messages to get a sense of the importance levels, then I'll sort them accordingly. And within each importance level, I'll sort by date received, most recent first. As long as I follow those steps carefully, I think I can nail this question.

I'm not completely sure, but I think Option C might set R2 as the preferred router for those prefixes.
