Refer to the exhibit. Load-balanced traffic is arriving from the WAN and is destined for a host at 172.16.1.190. Which next hop does the router use to forward the request?

A 192.168.7.4
B 192.168.7.7
C 192.168.7.35
D 192.168.7.40

Explanation

Routers forward packets using longest-prefix match. The destination 172.16.1.190 matches multiple routes, but the most specific entry is 172.16.1.184/29, which covers addresses 172.16.1.184 through 172.16.1.191. That route points to next hop 192.168.7.35, so that is the path used instead of the less specific /24 or /16 entries.
