What is a benefit of VRRP?
The correct answer is B. It provides the default gateway redundancy on a LAN using two or more routers.. VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) provides default gateway redundancy on a LAN, ensuring continuous network access even if the primary router fails.

Why each option
VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) provides default gateway redundancy on a LAN, ensuring continuous network access even if the primary router fails.
VRRP's primary function is default gateway redundancy, not advanced traffic load balancing for multi-hop destinations.
VRRP is a First Hop Redundancy Protocol (FHRP) that creates a virtual router shared by two or more physical routers, providing a redundant default gateway IP address that client devices can use, thus ensuring network availability if one router becomes unavailable.
