B Correct answer
Explanation

The show ip route command displays the routing table where you can see multiple equal-cost paths to the same destination, which indicates load balancing is active. When load balancing is implemented, the routing table shows multiple next-hop addresses for the same network prefix. Show ip protocols shows routing protocol parameters, and show ip interface commands display interface status but not load balancing state.
