Refer to the exhibit. What is the next hop for a packet destined for 10.1.1.1?

The correct answer is A. 172.17.0.2. The destination IP 10.1.1.1 is not explicitly listed in the routing table. When a packet's destination is not found in the routing table, the router forwards it based on the default route (denoted by S* 0.0.0.0/0). In this case, the default route (0.0.0.0/0) points to 172.17.0.2

Explanation

The destination IP 10.1.1.1 is not explicitly listed in the routing table. When a packet's destination is not found in the routing table, the router forwards it based on the default route (denoted by S* 0.0.0.0/0). In this case, the default route (0.0.0.0/0) points to 172.17.0.2 as the next hop, meaning all unknown destinations, including 10.1.1.1, will be sent to that address.
