How to remember Routing protocols (or how so i did at least) and i suggest you draw this out, interior and exterior (inside and outside). Let's start with the exterior as there is only 1 BGP hybrid (i think of this a something different compared to the other routing protocols, as if its a "god" or a better than the rest). Moving on to the interior, you have Distance Vector and Link State, DV (Distance Vector) has RIPv1, RIPv2, IGRP and EIGRP, LS (Link State) has 2 OSPF and IS-IS. (now how do i remember this? ever notice how all have the distance vectors have the 3 letters in all of them "R" "I" "P" in them, maybe in a different order and the others [OSPF and IS-IS] do not which make them Link State)

BGP: EGP, path-vector, classless protocol. Comptia point of view BGP(Border Gateway Protocol) is hybrid Protocol.

Mike Meyers says BGP is technically a path vector routing protocol, but then says this... "Exam Tip: The CompTIA Network+ objectives list BGP as a hybrid routing protocol. Read the question carefully and if BGP is your only answer as hybrid, take it." Mike Meyers, Network+, page 243

After seeing https://www.professormesser.com/network-plus/n10-007/dynamic-routing-protocols/ I have changed my mind, it is hybrid protocol. Correct answer is B. hybrid.

The correct answer is A. An example of a hybrid routing protocol would be something like EIGRP. https://www.professormesser.com/network-plus/n10-006/link-state-distance-vector-and-hybrid-routing-protocols-2/

Read a book guys! the amount of complain and lack of question understanding in this site is tremendous! geez! BGP is hybrid routing protocol in fact it is a path vector routing protocol!

BGP The Border Gateway Protocol is considered a hybrid protocol in the CompTIA objectives as it employs elements of both Link-state and distance-vector protocols. Technically it is classified as an advanced protocol. https://www.certblaster.com/network-plus-n10-007-examnotes-sub-objective-1-3-routing-and-switching-part-2-of-3/#:~:text=Hybrid-,BGP,classified%20as%20an%20advanced%20protocol.

According to Anthony Sequeira, CCIE No. 15626 (Network+ N10-007), 'some literature classifies BGP as a distance- vector routing protocol, it can more accurately be described as a path- vector routing protocol'.

According to the official Comptia Network+ Guide : BGP is not a pure distance-vector algorithm but uses a hybrid approach. In fact, BGP is more usually classed a path vector routing protocol. A very confusion question.
