Consider a network of 8 routers connected together to provide more than one path of connectivity between host A and host B at two different locations. In order for these routers to understand the various available paths in the network, they are all running a link state routing protocol. What statement is true about this configuration:

a. The routers will only transmit packets generated by the link-state protocol.

b. The routers will transmit the headers of packets only.

c. The routers will transmit packets with client's data and packets generated by the link-state protocol.

d. The routers will transmit the payload and checksum fields of packets only.

Option C is the correct option to the following question

Explanation:

Because there are not any limits is required of sending data and packets between host A and host B by the routers and the router permit more than one paths between the hosts for the establishment of the connectivity st two distinct locations in the routing protocol. The router transmits the packets between the hosts that is produced by link-state protocol.
