    The keyword’s here are “internet access”
    Metric 1 would give it a primary roll for routing trafic, which is NOT asked.
    So this rules out A AND B.
    Metric 500 gives it a secondary roll for routing trafic.
    C is not the answer bcz: it only routes addresses 10.1.14.0/24 (which is a NONE routable/”life” range on the internet! (10…(A-Class), 127…(B-Class), 192…(C-Class)). The solution however should route ALL trafic comming in to the internet.

    So the only logical answer is D.

    From a real-life standpoint… would this require two NIC cards in the server, one connects to Router1 and the other connects to Router2? You would configure them separately with the same IP Address and all, but configure the gateway as necessary to the router it is connected to? Will the computer then prefer NIC1 (to Router1) over NIC2 (to Router2) by setting the Metric?

    Just trying to figure out in what situation you would configure two gateways on one interface, the only time I can see this would be when there is a switch involved between the Server and two Routers, but no mention of that in this question.
