Haha, don't jinx it! If they do that, we'll just have to channel our inner routing gurus. Although, I might need to bring a calculator to the exam just in case.

Yes, I agree. Option D is the correct answer. Now, let's just hope the exam doesn't throw us a curveball and make us think about CIDR subnetting all over again. *shudders*

Exactly! I think the Meraki MX security appliance would select the directly connected route in Option D. It's the most specific match for the destination IP.
