Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Qualified next-hop with varying preference values
Why this is correct
Qualified next-hops allow specifying a backup next-hop with a higher preference.

Why it's wrong here
IGMP snooping manages multicast traffic at Layer 2.
- ✗
OSPF area stubbing
Why it's wrong here
OSPF stubbing is an OSPF area property, not a static route feature.
- ✓
Recursive next-hop tracking via RPM or routing table lookups
Why this is correct
Recursive tracking allows static routes to monitor availability through upstream reachability.
- ✗
BGP AS-path prepending on static routes
Why it's wrong here
AS-path prepending is specific to BGP, not static routes.
