Which option lists the EIGRP minimum timer settings for hello and dead timers in seconds?

Explanation

EIGRP allows configurable hello and hold (dead) timers. The minimum configurable hello timer is 2 seconds, and the minimum hold timer is 6 seconds. The hold timer must be at least 3 times the hello timer to ensure neighbor adjacencies are not prematurely dropped, so 2 and 6 represent the practical minimum viable pairing. Options like 4/6 or 2/4 violate the 3x ratio convention, and 'both 6' would be an inefficient configuration.
