(b) The route has a delay of 16 microseconds Debug IP route

Best answer
Correct option is (c) The route is inaccessible

Easy explanation: You cannot have 16 hops on a RIP network by default, because the max default hops possible is 15. If you receive a route advertised with a metric of 16, this means it is inaccessible.
