192.168.0.1

B.
172.16.1.1

C.
172.16.2.1

D.
172.16.2.225

Explanation:
The Router ID (RID) is an IP address used to identify the router and is chosen using the following
sequence:
The highest IP address assigned to a loopback (logical) interface.
If a loopback interface is not defined, the highest IP address of all active router’s physical interfaces
will be chosen.
The router ID can be manually assigned
In this case, because a loopback interface is not configured so the highest active IP address
192.168.0.1 is chosen as the router ID.
