The default Administrative Distance is equal to 110.It requires an Autonomous System number to create a routing instance for exchanging routing information.It uses virtual links to connect two parts of a partitioned backbone through a non-backbone area.It is an Advanced Distance Vector routing protocol.It relies on the Diffused Update Algorithm to calculate the shortest path to a destination.It requires a process ID that is local to the router.

Correct arrangement

It requires an Autonomous System number to create a routing instance for exchanging routing information.
It is an Advanced Distance Vector routing protocol.
It relies on the Diffused Update Algorithm to calculate the shortest path to a destination.
The default Administrative Distance is equal to 110.
It uses virtual links to connect two parts of a partitioned backbone through a non-backbone area.
It requires a process ID that is local to the router.

Explanation

OSPF is characterized by an Administrative Distance of 110, uses virtual links to connect partitioned backbone areas through non-backbone areas, and requires a process ID that is locally significant to the router (not shared between routers). EIGRP is characterized by requiring an Autonomous System number to form neighbor relationships and exchange routing information, being classified as an Advanced Distance Vector (Hybrid) protocol, and using DUAL (Diffused Update Algorithm) to calculate loop-free shortest paths to destinations.
