Explanation

Administrative Distance (AD) is Cisco's metric for rating the trustworthiness of a routing information source, where lower values are more trusted. The correct order from lowest to highest AD is: Connected (0) → Static (1) → EBGP (20) → EIGRP (90) → OSPF (110) → RIP (120). Connected routes have the highest trust (AD=0) because the router is directly attached, while RIP has the highest AD among these options (120) making it the least trusted dynamic routing protocol listed.
