Why each option

To route packets for the 10.0.0.0/24 network to R3, R1 must be configured with a static route specifying the destination network 10.0.0.0, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and R3's directly connected IP address (192.168.0.2) as the next hop.

AR1(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.0.2

This command specifies 172.16.0.2 as the next-hop, which is not the correct IP address of R3 connected to R1 for routing the 10.0.0.0/24 network.

BR1(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 172.16.0.2

This command uses a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, which corresponds to a /16 network, not the required /24 network, meaning it would route a larger range of IPs incorrectly.

CR1(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.2Correct

The command `ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.2` correctly defines a static route for the 10.0.0.0/24 network. It specifies the destination network, the exact subnet mask for a /24 network, and directs traffic to the next-hop IP address 192.168.0.2, which is R3's interface address connected to R1.

DR1(config)#ip route 10.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.0.2

This command uses a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 (a /16 network) and an incorrect next-hop of 192.168.0.2 (if the mask was intended to be /24), failing to meet the requirement for the 10.0.0.0/24 network.
