200-301 · Question #1347
Which interface is used to send traffic to the destination network?
The correct answer is A. F0/9. To determine the correct outgoing interface for traffic, a router consults its routing table to find the best path to the destination network.

Why each option
To determine the correct outgoing interface for traffic, a router consults its routing table to find the best path to the destination network.
Based on the router's routing table (implied by the question context), the interface F0/9 is the configured next-hop interface for the specific destination network in question. When a packet arrives destined for that network, the router performs a lookup in its routing table and forwards the packet out through F0/9 according to the determined best path.
Without a routing table or network diagram indicating F0/16 as the egress interface, it cannot be determined as the correct path.
Without a routing table or network diagram indicating F0/7 as the egress interface, it cannot be determined as the correct path.
Without a routing table or network diagram indicating F0/24 as the egress interface, it cannot be determined as the correct path.
