Selected Answer: A
Answer is A because links A<>B and C<>D are not OSPF neighbours at all so without implementing option A, there is no route if link C<>E fails because D has no route.

I see that the link between C and D is not in ospf area and nor the link between A and B. So one possible solution is answer A

I guess I never considered the blobs of colours meaning anything. But now i should pay attention to that. I didnt realize C and D werent in an OSPF area because the yellow or blue blobs dont reflect that

Because of the SPF algorithm. OSPF calculates intra-area routes before inter-area routes. If the link between C and D was in area 0, C would calculate C-F-D-E as the shortest route, which isn't true. If the link between C and D is in area 10, C will calculate C-D-E as the shortest route.
