Why each option

The administrator is configuring a static route, which is a manually defined route, and a default route, a special type of static route used for all traffic not matching more specific entries.

ABGP

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a dynamic routing protocol used for inter-autonomous system routing, not a type of manually configured route like those implied by static and default routes.

Bstatic routeCorrect

A static route is a manually configured entry in a routing table that directs traffic for a specific destination network or host through a defined next-hop IP address or interface.

Cdefault routeCorrect

A default route is a specific type of static route (typically 0.0.0.0/0) that serves as a gateway for all traffic that does not have a more specific route in the routing table, often pointing to the internet gateway.

DOSPF

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is an interior gateway protocol (IGP) used for dynamic routing within an autonomous system, which is distinct from configuring static or default routes.
