Which of the following statements about OSPF routing protocol is FALSE?

The correct answer is D. It uses hop-count for route selection. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a Link-State protocol that uses: Cost (based on bandwidth) as its metric. Dijkstra's algorithm to compute shortest path trees. Supports hierarchical routing with areas (e.g., Area 0 as backbone). Routers exchange LSAs, not full routing tables…

Explanation

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a Link-State protocol that uses: Cost (based on bandwidth) as its metric. Dijkstra's algorithm to compute shortest path trees. Supports hierarchical routing with areas (e.g., Area 0 as backbone). Routers exchange LSAs, not full routing tables. Option D is FALSE - OSPF does not use hop-count. That's a RIP (Distance Vector) feature.
