Correct Answer:
B. B. The update will be ignored and no further action will occur debug ip route
Explanation:
When a routing update is received by a router, the router first checks the administrative distance (AD) and always chooses the route with the lowest AD. However, if two routes are received and they both have the same AD, then the router will choose the one route with the lowest metrics, or in RIPβs case, hop count.
