5.

Totally stub areas allow limited external routes in the area via a special type 7 LSA, while stub
areas do not
D.
Stub areas do not allow external LSAs, ASBR summary LSAs, or summary LSAs with the exception

The answer is D!
LSA Type 5,4, and 3 are absent from a totally stubby area EXCEPT for the 0.0.0.0/0 type 3 LSA added by the ABR.

Hi “Nobody”, you would be correct if (D) refers to a totally stubby area. But I don’t read that it explicitly refers to a totally one. Stub areas do allow LSA Type 3.
(B) is the correct one.
To be precise B is “more correct” than D, but still it doesn’t mention that one LSA-3 is allowed in totally stubby area – the one describing default route.
