Which OSPF state indicates that the router has finished transmitting its database but is still receiving database information?
The correct answer is A. Loading. In the loading state, routers send link-state request packets. During the adjacency, if a router receives an outdated or missing link-state advertisement (LSA), it requests that LSA by sending a link-state request packet.

Explanation
In the loading state, routers send link-state request packets. During the adjacency, if a router receives an outdated or missing link-state advertisement (LSA), it requests that LSA by sending a link-state request packet. Note: OSPF states for adjacency formation are Down, Init, Attempt, 2-way, Exstart, Exchange, Loading and Full. Incorrect Answers: B: After two OSPF neighboring routers establish bi-directional communication and complete DR/BDR election (on multi-access networks), the routers transition to the exstart state. In this state, the neighboring routers establish a master/slave relationship and determine the initial database descriptor (DBD) sequence number to use while exchanging DBD packets. C: The 2-way state indicates that the router has seen its own Router ID in the Neighbor field of the neighbor's HELLO packet. Receiving a Database Descriptor (DBD) packet from a neighbor in the init state will also a cause a transition to 2-way state. D: Once the master/slave relationship has been negotiated (the router with the highest Router-ID becomes the master), the neighboring routers transition into the exchange state. In this state, the routers exchange DBD packets, which describe their entire link-state database. The routers also send link-state request packets, which request more recent link-state advertisements (LSA) from
