Explanation:
The point of this question is about using lookback interface establish neighbor.
You can use two ways to configure IBGP neighbor. First is use physical address, and the
second is use loopback interface. In this picture, you find that there are two way to each
other, if you use physical address for failover, you need to establish two connection, and you
will receive two route, this is no good. If you use loopback interface, there are only one
connection, but if one way is down, it also can failover. So answer B is the best.
