Consider the following statements regarding routing algorithms:

• (I) Both Flooding and Distance vector algorithm are static algorithms (non-adaptive), which do not consider load on the network.
• (II) Both Link state routing and path vector routing are dynamic algorithms which consider the load on networks.
• (III) Link state routing algorithm do suffer from count to infinity problem.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are incorrect?
(A) (I) and (II) only
(B) (I) and (III) only
(C) (II) and (III) only
(D) All (I), (II), and (III)


Answer: (B)

Explanation:

• (I) false, because Flooding algorithm is the static algorithm (Non-adaptive) which does not consider the load on network while distance routing algorithm (adaptive algorithm) which consider the load on the network.
• (II) is correct.
• (III) is false, because distance vector routing algorithm suffer from count to infinity problem, and Link state routing algorithm does not suffer from count to infinity problem.

Option (B) is correct.
