A customer is trying to configure a router to peer using EBGP to a neighbor. As shown in the
exhibit, two links are being used for this configuration. The goal of this configuration is to loadbalance traffic across both EBGP links.

It shows B as correct answer, and it is the most reasonable answer indeed, however when you think about it, without the multipath option one of two identical routes received from the peering AS will be immediately put to inactive state.
So, load-balance filter is fine, but we need multipath option too. I assume this is a glitch from the real test where the multipath will be used in B answer.

As peering is done using loopback interfaces, and per-packet load balancing is configured, I think multipath is not required.

JUNOS supports load balancing via three different methods :

EBGP load balancing using the multipath statement

IBGP load balancing using the multipath statement

EBGP load balancing using the multihop statement
