Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A routing metric is generally a measure of the cost or effectiveness of a network path for transmitting packets. Therefore, option B, which refers to the cost of sending packets through the route, is the most appropriate choice. The other options, such as the cost of building or operating the network route, or the rental fee for using it, may also be factors that affect the routing decisions, but they are not directly related to the routing metric.
