Why each option

By default, Cisco EIGRP uses only bandwidth and delay for its metric calculation, with the K-values for load, reliability, and MTU set to zero.

ABandwidth

The K1 value, representing Bandwidth, is set to 1 by default, making bandwidth a significant component in the EIGRP metric calculation.

BLoadCorrect

The K2 value, representing Load, is set to 0 by default, meaning network load is not factored into the EIGRP metric calculation.

CTotal Delay

The K3 value, representing Total Delay, is set to 1 by default, making delay a significant component in the EIGRP metric calculation.

DReliabilityCorrect

The K4 value, representing Reliability, is set to 0 by default, indicating that link reliability is not considered when computing the EIGRP metric.

EMTUCorrect

The K5 value, representing MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit), is set to 0 by default, meaning the MTU is not used in the EIGRP metric calculation.
