When a router learns that multiple paths are available to a destination network from the same routing protocol, which factor is considered by a router to choose the best path to forward a packet?

When a router learns that multiple paths are available to a destination network from the same routing protocol, which factor is considered by a router to choose the best path to forward a packet?

• the reliability value of the neighboring routers
• the fastest bandwidth of exiting interfaces
• the lowest metric
• the order of paths on the routing table
