In my opinion the question is not clear enough. They neither mentioned if this is a Cisco router, in that case it would respect the WEIGHT attribute locally, or if the particular path to the destination must not be changed withing the entire AS.
One of the points why people are complaining about that exam.
I would say this answer is wrong.
Correct answer should be
C. Higher weight
Take a look here:
The BGP golden rule is that nobody can say me what is have to do with my routes Weight is the only attribute which is not transmitted – weight can NOT be used by any neighbor to influence me. Within my AS i can also be influenced by Loc pref.
Weight is also the first in the list. I think it is weight is the right answer – because it is local significant
where nobody only me have influence on.
