Question:
Which two statements correctly describe the concepts of administrative distance and metric? (Choose two.)

• Administrative distance refers to the trustworthiness of a particular route
• A router first installs routes with higher administrative distances
• The value of the administrative distance can not be altered by the network administrator
• Routes with the smallest metric to a destination indicate the best path
• The metric is always determined based on hop count
• The metric varies depending which Layer 3 protocol is being routed

Explanation: A metric is calculated by a routing protocol and is used to determine the best path (smallest metric value) to a remote network. Administrative distance (AD) is used when a router has two or more routes to a remote destination that were learned from different sources. The source with the lowest AD is installed in the routing table.
