D probaly would is right too. If you gonna use OSPF you have more Routing overhead in your network. If its already implemented you can reduce the overhead by building different areas. All in all it increases the overhead. Answers by Question 184 proofs it

No because Dynamic Routing Protocols are used to reduce routing overhead not increase it

But Question 184, indicates that it reduces overhead, in this question in indicates that it increases it.

Question 184 was in the perspective of using OSPF in a hierarchical design.

A is correct B wrong, this is related to ebgp C correct, it confines network instability to one area of the network, eg in a multi area network if there's a problem in area 1 it will only affect area 1 D possibly correct , as the network grows it has to update its routing table and broadcast lsa, update lsdb, using more cpu and memory resource but this does not describe ospf its a symptom E. Correct, the router will flood Lsa specifically in its own area not to other areas F. Wrong. It's not that much easier to configure than rip v2

Wow, u r great man. This word "Symptom" makes D incorrect. All others are descriptions of how ospf operates. I wonder how much those CISCO people are expected exam takers to be so strict on wording (like this)!. I doubt if I asked them the same question that they won't give 4 answers correct -D correct also- out of the six answers given. Agree?

I think ACE are right, the only doubt is B: It is used to route between autonomous systems OSPF actually can operate between different AS thru the ASBR but it was born as an INTERIOR Gateway Routing Protocol, so to operate inside one AS.

ospf doesn't use AS, it uses area ID
