Refer to the exhibit. Which route does R1 select for traffic that is destined to 192 168.16.2?
The correct answer is D. 192.168.16.0/27. The destination IP addresses match all four entries in the routing table but the 192.168.16.0/27 has the longest prefix so it will be chosen. This is called the "longest prefix match" rule.
