Which parameter would you tune to affect the selection of a static route as a backup, when a dynamic protocol is also being used?

Hop count
administrative distance
link bandwith
link delay
link cost

Explanation: By default, the administrative distance of a static route is 1, meaning it will be preferred over all dynamic routing protocols. If you want to have the dynamic routing protocol used and have the static route be used only as a backup, you need to increase the AD of the static route so that it is higher than the dynamic routing protocol.
