Which path will be preferred by traffic destined to 10.1.3.1 and arriving at R1?

Observe the following exhibit. Which path will be preferred by traffic destined to 10.1.3.1 and
arriving at R1?

Observe the following exhibit. Which path will be preferred by traffic destined to 10.1.3.1 and
arriving at R1?

A.
Through R3, because R1 will only have a summary (type 3) LSA from R2

B.
Through R2, since it is the path through Area 0

C.
Through R3, since that is the lowest cost path (10+10 = 20, which is lower than 100)

D.
Through R2; this is the only path available for R1 to reach 10.1.3.0/24, since R3 is in a different
autonomous system than R1 and R2
