Which of the following best describes how BGP is considered to be a combination of link-state and distance-vector routing protocols?

A.
It builds a network topology like a distance-vector protocol and updates periodically as a link-state protocol.

B.
It sends updates like a link-state protocol and builds a static table like a distance-vector protocol.

C.
It builds a network topology like a link-state protocol and updates periodically like a distance-vector protocol.

D.
It makes route decisions based on hops like a link-state protocol and updates periodically like a distance-vector protocol.

Explanation:
BGP uses a combination of link-state and distance-vector routing
algorithms. It creates a network topology by using its link-state functionality and
transmits updates on a periodic basis instead of continuously, which is how
distance-vector protocols work.
