Explanation

A routing table's primary purpose is to store routes to known network destinations (B), which the device uses to forward packets. It holds both static routes (manually configured by an administrator) and dynamic routes (learned via routing protocols like OSPF or EIGRP) (C). The other options are incorrect: routing tables do not define routes to drop traffic (A) - that is a firewall/ACL function; they list network prefixes and next-hops, not specific hosts by hop count (D, E).
