Correct answer & explanation
✓
The route is received but not installed in the routing table, likely due to a route-map filtering.
The "(received-only)" flag indicates that the route was received from a neighbor but is not installed in the routing table, often due to a route-map filtering or a prefix-list. The correct answer is that a route-map is likely filtering this route from being installed.
