Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Not sure that any of these answers are correct, it appears that this configuration is valid for reaching that one specific host IP. Answer A does have a route to that host so it would not need a default route to get to it. Choice B is incorrect as the area types have nothing to do with this. C is incorrect as that IP address is routable, and D is needed so that R1 will have a default route advertised to it from R2 so that it can reach this destination.

A is correct. The router will not advertise the route to the host because there is not a network statement for the 209.165.202.x network in OSPF. And there has to be a default route in the routing table for the "default-information originate" command to advertise that default route in OSPF. Unless you use the "default-information originate always" command, then it will always advertise a default route into OSPF.
