• B. The minimum bandwidth between the source and destination is used.
• C. The minimum delay along the path is used.
• D. The maximum delay along the path is used. C

Correct answer:

The correct answer is C, as EIGRP uses the minimum delay along the path to calculate its metric, which helps in determining the best route. Options A and B are incorrect as they refer to bandwidth, while D incorrectly states that maximum delay is used instead of minimum delay.
