A router running RIP Version 2 has two interfaces and has received RIP routing updates from its neighbors on both interfaces. The first interface receives a routing update for network 10.1.1.0/24 with a metric of 3, the second interface also receives a routing update for network 10.1.1.0/24 with a metric of 5.
Which interface(s) will the router select to forward packets to network 10.1.1.0/24?
A . The router will choose the first interface because it has the lowest metric.
B . The router will load share across both interfaces in a weighted fashion, sending the first 3 packets out of the first interface, and the next 5 packets out of the second interface.
C . The router will choose the second interface because it has the highest metric.
D . The router will equally load share packets across both interfaces in a round robin fashion, because both are valid RIP Version 2 routes.
E . The router will ignore the RIP metrics and compare the preference value of each route, and choose the interface with the lowest preference value.
