Correct answer & explanation

Enter OSPF router configuration mode

First, enter OSPF configuration mode for the process. Then, configure the area where the routes originate. Next, apply the range command to summarize prefixes into that area. After that, verify the summary route is present in the routing table. Finally, check that the summary is advertised to neighboring areas.
