What special type of LSA is generated by the ASBR in an OSPF NSSA?

Type 3
Type 7
Type 5
Type 1

Explanation: In a Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA), external routes redistributed by an ASBR are advertised using a special Type 7 LSA. These Type 7 LSAs are local to the NSSA and are converted into Type 5 LSAs by the Area Border Router (ABR) before being flooded into the rest of the OSPF domain.
