A router has two static routes to the same destination network under the same OSPF process. How does the router forward packets to the destination if the net- hop devices are different?
A.
The router chooses the route with the oldest age.
B.
The router chooses the next hop with the lowest IP address.
C.
The router chooses the next hop with the lowest MAC address.
D.
The router load-balances traffic over all routes to the destination.
The question is deliberately misleading since OSPF doesn't use static routes.
However, a router/L3 switch will load balance across routes with equal AD and metric, even static ones. So load balancing will apply here too.

B. The router chooses the next hop with the lowest IP address.
Administrative distance takes precedence over factors like the age of the route or the MAC address of the next hop. It is used to prioritize routes when there are multiple paths to the same destination, allowing the router to select the most appropriate route based on administrative distance values
