Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Dijkstra’s algorithm is fundamentally designed to find the shortest paths in a weighted graph. In networking contexts like OSPF, it processes the link-state database to determine optimal paths for data transmission. Consequently, its direct application results in calculating the routing tables used by routers to forward packets.
