Correct answer: B

In link state routing protocols, each router independently maintains a complete topology map of the network. Consequently, every individual router generates and stores its own unique routing table based on this local calculation. Since there are five routers in the scenario, there is exactly one routing table per router, resulting in a total of five routing tables across the intranet.
