Packets from router D will prefer the path through router B for networks advertised by

router A

Explanation:
The weight attribute is a special Cisco attribute that is used in the path selection process
when there is more than one route to the same destination. The higher the weight value, the
better the path. The default weight is 0. Therefore, by configuring weight 200 to the
neighbor 10.1.1.1, router A will prefer the path through router B for network 172.20.0.0 then
the path through router C.
The weight attribute is local to the router and notpropagated to other routers. In this case
the weight is local to router A so it has no effecton the decision of transferring packets from
router D.
