Explanation

B is correct because route redistribution (route introduction) is one method for enabling communication between different routing protocols, but it is not the only method. Static routes are a common alternative - a network administrator can manually configure static routes pointing between routing domains without any redistribution at all. Default routes and policy-based routing can also bridge protocol boundaries in many scenarios.

Why A is wrong: The word "only" makes this statement false. Claiming route redistribution is the exclusive means of cross-protocol communication ignores static routing, which is widely used precisely to connect protocol domains without the complexity of redistribution.

Memory tip: Watch for absolute words like "only," "always," "never," or "must" in networking exam statements - they are almost always false, because networking rarely has a single prescribed solution. When you see "can only use X," ask yourself: "Can I think of even one other way?" If yes, the answer is FALSE.
