Two routers using OSPFv2 have become neighbors and exchanged all LSAs. As a result, Router R1 now lists some OSPF-learned routes in its routing table. Which of the following best describes how R1 uses those recently learned LSAs to choose which IP routes to add to its IP routing table?

Which of the following best describes how R1 uses those recently learned LSAs to choose which IP routes to add to its IP routing table?

Each LSA lists a route to be copied to the routing table.
Some LSAs list a route that can be copied to the routing table.
Run some SPF math against the LSAs to calculate the routes.
R1 does not use the LSAs at all when choosing what routes to add.

Explanation: LSAs contain topology information that is useful in calculating routes, but the LSAs do not directly list the route that a router should add to its routing table. In this case, R1 would run a calculation called the Shortest Path First (SPF) algorithm, against the LSAs, to determine what IP routes to add to the IP routing table.
