Why each option

The question asks for the administrative distance associated with a default gateway.

A110

110 is the default administrative distance for routes learned via OSPF, not typically for a directly configured static default gateway.

B10

10 is not a standard default administrative distance for common routing protocols or static routes in Cisco IOS.

C1Correct

The administrative distance for a static route, which is commonly used to configure a default gateway on a router, is 1 by default in Cisco IOS. This value signifies its high trustworthiness compared to routes learned via dynamic routing protocols.

D0

0 is the administrative distance for directly connected networks, not for a static default gateway.
