In the exhibit, a customer wants to configure an EBGP connection to two different routers in a
neighboring autonomous system. The goal of this configuration is to use per-prefix load balancing
across both EBGP links.

Option D is tricky. Anything learned through BGP more specific than 0/0 will be also load balanced as shown in option B, including the 0/0 route. It makes both B and D correct answers. However D is showing more configuration than necessary for completing the question and therefore I guess B was selected as correct.

P.S. The load balancer config is omitted from all answers… Let’s assume it is already applied.
