Refer to the exhibit. How does router R1 forward packets destined to 10.0.4.10?

The correct answer is A. via 10.0.0.2. The router looks for the best match in its routes. If it can’t find a match, it uses the default route. R1 checks its routes: - Is 10.0.4.10 in 10.0.4.0/29? No. - Is there any other more specific route? No. - Is there a default route? Yes, via 10.0.0.2. R1 sends the packet to 10.
