Router R1 learns two routes with BGP for prefix 200.1.0.0/16. Comparing the two routes,
route 1 has a longer AS_Path Length, bigger MED, bigger Weight, and smaller Local
PreferencE. Which of the following is true about Router R1’s choice of best path for this
prefix?
A.
Route 1 is the best route.
B.
Route 2 is the best route.
C.
The routes tie as best, but one will be picked to be placed in the routing table based on
tiebreakers.

Of the items listed in the question, Weight is the first one considered in the best path
algorithm, with a bigger weight being better. As a result, Route 1 is the better route of the
two.
