A.
stub

B.
totally stubby

NSSA

D.
totally NSSA

Explanation:
We need to redistribute RIP from R1 to Area 1 so Area 3 cannot be a stub or totally stubby area.
To minimize the propagation of LSAs into and out of Area 1 we should configure it as a totally
NSSA. Notice that a NSSA allows LSA Type 3 & 7 while a Totally NSSA only allows LSA Type 7

0.0.0.0. The main difference between them is Totally Stubby NSSA accepts routes from other AS
while Totally Stubby Area does not.
