Selected Answer: A

In this scenario, the company wants the OSPF routers to see link costs added to external routes. This means that when redistributing routes from EIGRP into OSPF, the redistributed routes should use a metric that reflects the link cost. The best way to achieve this is to use metric type 2 when redistributing into OSPF.
