Refer to the exhibit. ASN 64501 currently reaches the networks under the 10.0.0.0/8 prefix via the North_B router, which is a slow backup link. The administrator of ASN 64502 wants traffic from ASN…

Local preference is an AS-internal attribute used to influence outbound traffic from an AS; setting a higher local preference between North_A and South_A would affect ASN 64502's outbound traffic decisions, not ASN 64501's inbound decisions towards 10.0.0.0/8.

Advertising more specific subnets of 10.0.0.0/8 through North_A, while advertising the less specific 10.0.0.0/8 prefix through North_B, will cause routers in ASN 64501 to prefer the more specific routes via North_A for those subnets, overriding the less specific route via North_B. This leverages the BGP best path selection rule where longer prefix matches are preferred.

Weight is a Cisco-proprietary attribute that is local to the router and influences outbound traffic from that specific router; setting a lower weight on North_A would make North_A less preferred for outbound traffic, not influence incoming traffic from ASN 64501.

MED (Multi-Exit Discriminator) is an attribute used by an AS to tell an adjacent AS how to enter its network; setting a lower MED on North_B's advertisement to South_B would make the North_B path more preferred, which is the opposite of the desired outcome.
