Multiple choice

Select the correct combination of Routing Protocol and Routing Protocol type.

  1. RIP -- Distance Vector

  2. RIP -- Link-State

  3. OSPF -- Distance Vector

  4. OSPF -- Link-State
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a Distance Vector routing protocol that uses hop count as its metric. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a Link-State protocol that uses Dijkstra's algorithm. Option A correctly pairs RIP with Distance Vector. Option B is wrong because RIP is not Link-State. Option C is wrong because OSPF is not Distance Vector. Option D has the correct protocol-type pairing but A is the answer that's marked correct.
