You have an Azure subscription. You create a routing table named RT1. You need to add a route to RT1 that specifies the next hop IP address. Which next hop type should you select?

Why each option
To add a route that specifies a next hop IP address in an Azure routing table, the 'Virtual appliance' next hop type must be selected.
Internet is a valid next hop type but routes traffic directly to the internet, without allowing an explicit IP address to be specified.
Virtual network gateway is used for VPN or ExpressRoute gateways and routes traffic to a gateway, not a specific IP address within a virtual network.
Virtual network implies direct routing within the virtual network and does not allow specifying a next hop IP address for explicit routing through an NVA.
When creating a user-defined route (UDR) in Azure and needing to specify a private IP address for the next hop, typically for a Network Virtual Appliance (NVA), the correct next hop type to select is 'Virtual appliance'. This allows you to input a specific IP address for traffic forwarding.
