A 'Routing Failure with the primary route' sounds like a route that is dynamically learned. Therefore a static backup route will work to take over if the primary route leaves the routing table. D seems OK, but when I have done the IP SLA and route tracking in the past, The route tracking only lives on the primary route. But that's for dual-ISP conditions and that's not specified here. It _could_ be a default route up to the Corp HQ via 2 different leased circuits. in that case D makes sense.

A cant be, because to have backup static route, you must have higher AD, not less. So only D

I believe D is correct. The static route tracking feature provides a method for tracking the availability of a static route and installing a backup route if the primary route should fail. For example, you can define a default route to an ISP gateway and a backup default route to a secondary ISP in case the primary ISP becomes unavailable. The Firepower Threat Defense device implements static route tracking by associating a static route with a monitoring target host on the destination network that the Firepower Threat Defense device monitors using ICMP echo requests. If an echo reply is not received within a specified time period, the host is considered down, and the associated route is removed from the routing table. An untracked backup route with a higher metric is used in place of the removed route. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/firepower/601/configuration/guide/fpmc-config-guide-v601/fpmc-config-guide-v60_chapter_01100100.html#ID-2105-00000029
