Which of the following types of routes takes precedence when building a routing table for...

The correct answer is Static because static routes have a lower administrative distance (AD) than most dynamic routing protocols, giving them higher priority when a router selects routes for the same destination network. According to CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) routing objectives, administrative distance is used to determine the trustworthiness of a route source when multiple routing protocols provide a path to the same subnet. The lower the administrative distance, the more preferred the route.

By default, a static route has an administrative distance of 1, which is lower than OSPF (110) and BGP (20 for eBGP, 200 for iBGP). Because of this, when identical routes to a subnet exist from both static and dynamic sources, the router installs the static route in the routing table.

A default route (0.0.0.0/0) is only used when no more specific route exists and does not take precedence over specific static or dynamic routes.

Therefore, when building the routing table for a given subnet and comparing route sources, static routes take precedence due to their lower administrative distance.
