D.

E.
A packet for the 192.168.52.0 network will be load-balanced across two paths.

Explanation:
This router is running EIGRP and a packet for the 192.168.52.0 network will be load-balanced across two
paths.EIGRP routes display with a D code in the leftmost column of the show ip route command. The D stands for
Diffusing Update Algorithm (DUAL), which is the algorithm used by EIGRP to determine the best and potential
backup paths to each remote network. There are four EIGRP-learned routes in this exhibit.
When two routes with equal metrics exist in the routing table, EIGRP will send packets using both paths. In the
output there are two routes listed for the 192.168.52.0 network. Both have the same metric value (2172416).
Therefore, packets will be sent to that network via the Serial 0/1/0 interface to the neighbor at 192.168.15.254
and via the Serial 0/0/0 interface to the neighbor at 192.168.15.5. Both paths, either directly or indirectly, lead to
the 192.168.52.0 network, and both paths have the same cost.
There are not four default routes on this router. The D represents EIGRP-learned routes, not default routes.
There is one default route, as indicated by the line of output that says Gateway of last resort is 192.168.15.1 to
network 0.0.0.0. Because Serial0/1/0 is directly connected to the 192.168.15.0 network, packets that are
destined for networks not found in the routing table will be sent out on that interface.
The C in the leftmost column of the show ip route command represents directly connected networks, of which
there are four in the exhibit. Closer examination, however, reveals that one of these entries (for network
192.168.33.0) is connected to a loopback interface (Loopback1), as opposed to a physical interface:
C 192.168.33.0 is directly connected, Loopback1
Loopback interfaces are virtual, software interfaces that appear in the routing table, but do not represent a
physical interface on the router. Therefore, there are three physically connected interfaces on this router, not
four.
The metric for the routes learned via a routing protocol is not 90. The 90 in the scenario output is the
administrative distance (AD) of the route, and the 2196545 is the metric value (see below):
D 192.168.25.0 [90/2196545] via 192.168.20.254, 0:01:20, Serial0/0/1
