Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
System-generated routes
Options A, B, and D are correct. System-generated routes are created automatically for subnet ranges and default internet gateway. Custom static routes are manually defined by administrators. Dynamic routes are learned through BGP from on-premises or other networks. Option C is incorrect because 'VPN tunnel routes' is not a distinct route type; VPN tunnels utilize either static routes or BGP for route advertisement. Option E is incorrect because 'Peering routes' are not a separate type; they are system-generated routes imported from peered VPCs.
