A company has a small/medium-sized network with 15 routers and 40 subnets and uses OSPFv2. Which of the following is considered an advantage of using a single-area design as opposed to a multiarea design?

• It reduces the processing overhead on most routers.
• Status changes to one link may not require SPF to run on all other routers.
• It allows for simpler planning and operations.
• It allows for route summarization, reducing the size of IP routing tables.
