What is the default maximum number of equal-cost paths that can be placed into the routing table
of a Cisco OSPF router?
A.
2
B.
8
C.
16
D.
unlimited
Explanation:
Maximum-paths (OSPF)
To control the maximum number of parallel routes that Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) can
support, use the maximum-paths command.
Syntax Description
maximumMaximum number of parallel routes that OSPF can install in a routing table. The range is from 1 to
16 routes.
Command Default
8 paths
Wrong, correct answer is 4.
4 is the default number of routes that OSPF will include in routing table if more than 4 equal cost
routes exist for the same subnet. However, OSPF can include up to 16 equal cost routes in the
routing table and perform load balancing amongst them. In order to configure this feature, you need
to use the OSPF subcommand maximum-paths, i.e. maximum-paths 16.

This is a tricky question cause the default can vary from platform and software version.
