Why each option
The question asks for the administrative distance associated with a default gateway.
110 is the default administrative distance for routes learned via OSPF, not typically for a directly configured static default gateway.
10 is not a standard default administrative distance for common routing protocols or static routes in Cisco IOS.
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.
0 is the administrative distance for directly connected networks, not for a static default gateway.
