Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer executes the show ip route command on router D. What is the next hop to network 192.168.1.0/24 and why?

The correct answer is C. The next hop is 10.0.0.1 because it has a better administrative distance. The longest-matching route is preferred first, if two routes have equal length, the AD is used. so router will choose 10.0.0.1 becuase EIGRP(90) have lower AD than OSPF(110).
