Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is an interior gateway protocol that uses the link state routing algorithm. It maintains a complete topology map of the network and calculates the shortest path using Dijkstra's algorithm, distinguishing it from distance vector protocols like RIP.
