A.
Yes, OSPF will never allow an existing DR to be replaced when a new router is connected to a
broadcast network. In this case, the administrator has recently reloaded R1 and R2, so it would be
expected that either R3 or R4 would be the DR on the link.

B.
No, OSPF should always elect the router with the highest router ID as the designated router on
the link. The administrator should call for technical support.

C.
Yes, OSPF is operating correctly, because the router with the lowest router ID should always
be elected designated router on a broadcast link.

D.
There is not enough information provided in the question to answer accurately.
