Which statement accurately describes the operation of OSPF within the Junos OS?

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a standards-based Link-State Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) implemented within Junos OS 24.4:

Intra-AS Routing:OSPF is designed to distribute routing information and performneighbor discovery within a single Autonomous System (AS). It divides the AS into areas to localize Link-State Advertisements (LSAs) and reduce the size of the Link-State Database (LSDB) on each router. (Option B)

Algorithm:OSPF uses theShortest Path First (SPF) or Dijkstra algorithm, not a distance vector algorithm (which would be RIP or BGP). This makesOption Aincorrect.

Directly Connected Routes:In Junos OS, you must explicitly configure an interface under the [edit protocols ospf] hierarchy to include it in the OSPF process. Once an interface is added, its prefix isautomatically advertisedto neighbors via Router (Type 1) LSAs. This makesOption Ctechnically inaccurate in the context of interfaces participating in the protocol.

Scope:Protocols used between multiple autonomous systems are External Gateway Protocols (EGPs), such as BGP. This makesOption Dincorrect.
