I'm not sure, but I think the non-Meraki VPN route 172.18.24.0/24 could also be a valid option for the appliance to select.

I agree with Marilynn, the directly connected route seems like the most specific match for the destination IP address.

Hmm, I'm torn between Options B and D. 172.16.0.0/12 is a larger subnet, but 172.18.16.0/20 is more specific. I'll have to think this one through.

Option D seems like the obvious choice here. The destination IP address is within the 172.18.16.0/20 subnet, so the directly connected route should be selected.
