Why each option
To send traffic to a destination network, a router consults its routing table to determine the most specific route and the corresponding egress interface.
F0/5 is incorrect because it is not the interface chosen by the routing table for the specified destination network.
F0/6 is incorrect as the routing table does not designate it as the egress interface for this particular destination.
In network routing, traffic destined for a specific network is forwarded out the interface (e.g., F0/12) that corresponds to the next-hop IP address or exit interface defined in the router's routing table for that destination.
F0/9 is incorrect because it does not match the determined next-hop interface for forwarding traffic to the target network.
