Selected Answer: B
Correct = B. D is incorrect per: 'EIGRP vs OSPF: CPU Usage.OSPF maintains the complete information about the routers in its area. Each time there is a change within the area, all routers need to re-sync their database, which makes it more CPU intensive. EIGRP, on the other hand, has triggered and incremental updates and will not send all the information about the network rather just the information that has changed will be shared.'

100% D is the right answer. EIGRP supports MD5 but not for routing updates

OSPF is much more resource intensive, hence it was designed with areas to reduce the information needed to be processed.
