200-301 Question #1788: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is C: 10.56.22.23. Routing uses longest-prefix match. 172.16.153.154 matches 172.16.0.0/16 (more specific than 172.0.0.0/8), and it does not match the /32 host route (which is only for 172.16.153.153). Therefore the next hop is 10.56.22.23.
