Which configuration parameter on a Junos device alters the default next-hop resolution behavior of a static route?
The correct answer is B. resolve. The resolve parameter configured for a static route in Junos OS alters its default next-hop resolution behavior by enabling recursive lookup.

Why each option
The `resolve` parameter configured for a static route in Junos OS alters its default next-hop resolution behavior by enabling recursive lookup.
`no-readvertise` prevents a static route from being advertised into routing protocols, but it does not affect how its next hop is resolved locally.
The `resolve` parameter, configured under a static route, explicitly tells the Junos device to perform a recursive lookup for the next-hop address. This allows the next hop to be reachable via another route, changing the default behavior where it must be directly connected.
`preference` assigns an administrative distance to a route, influencing route selection when multiple paths exist, but it doesn't change next-hop resolution behavior.
`passive` is used in some routing protocol contexts to indicate an interface should not send or receive routing updates, which is unrelated to static route next-hop resolution.
