Why each option
A routing table acts as a comprehensive repository that stores all known and accepted routes to various network destinations.
Routing tables contain routes from all sources, including static, direct, and aggregate routes, not only dynamically learned routes.
While link-state protocols like OSPF use SPF, the routing table itself stores paths and performs best path selection based on metrics and administrative distance, rather than performing the shortest-path-first calculation directly.
The routing table contains all types of routes (direct, static, OSPF, ISIS, BGP, etc.), not exclusively active BGP routes.
The routing table (Routing Information Base - RIB) on a router collects and stores all routes that have been learned or configured, including direct connections, static routes, and routes from dynamic routing protocols, regardless of whether they are currently active for forwarding.
