  1. Answer is C.

    B is incomplete. The interface needs an address assigned as well, and in up/up state. Just physically connect it, is not enough.

    Directly connected networks are added to the router’s routing table if the interface connected to the network has an IP address configured and is in the up and up state. Connected routes always take precedence over static or dynamically discovered routes because they have the administrative distance value of 0 (the lowest possible value).

  2. If we give a static route specifying an exit interface, It shows as directly connected in routing table.
