D Correct answer
Explanation

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) sends its entire routing table to all directly connected neighbors every 30 seconds by default. This 30-second update timer is part of RIP's design, along with a 180-second invalid timer, 180-second hold-down timer, and 240-second flush timer. These timers determine how RIP converges and ages out routes.
