CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 695

Which of the following routing protocols uses attributes to select the best path?

Answer options

• A. EIGRP
• B. BGP
• C. OSPF
• D. RIP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

BGP is designed to use various attributes like AS path, next hop, and local preference to select the most efficient routing path. In contrast, EIGRP, OSPF, and RIP rely more on metrics like hop count or cost rather than a comprehensive set of attributes.
