The routers that are directly connected to the Dallas and Denver subnets are not advertising the connected subnets.  This can be resolved by redistributing the connected subnets into OSPF 1 .

Option C suggests to configure and apply a routing policy that redistributes the connected Dallas and Denver subnets.  This is correct because redistribution allows routes from one routing protocol to be communicated to another, and in this case, it allows the connected subnets to be advertised through OSPF 1 .

Option D suggests enabling the passive option on the OSPF interfaces that are connected to the Dallas and Denver subnets.  This is also correct because in OSPF, a passive interface is an interface that belongs to the OSPF router, but does not send OSPF Hello packets 1 .  It’s typically used on an interface that you don’t want to use for OSPF adjacencies, but you still want to advertise its IP address 1 . Therefore, enabling passive interface can help in advertising the Dallas and Denver subnets.

 In OSPF, a DR (Designated Router) and a BDR (Backup Designated Router) are elected on each multi-access network, such as Ethernet or Frame Relay. The DR and BDR are responsible for exchanging routing information with other routers on the same network segment. The election is based on two criteria: the OSPF priority and the router ID. The router with the highest priority becomes the DR, and the router with the second-highest priority becomes the BDR. If the priorities are equal, the router with the highest router ID becomes the DR, and the router with the second-highest router ID becomes the BDR. The default priority is 1, and the router ID is either manually configured or derived from the highest IP address on any interface12.

In this scenario, R1 has a priority of 32 and a router ID of 192.168.1.2, and R2 has a priority of 64 and a router ID of 192.168.1.1. Since R2 has a higher priority than R1, it will become the BDR. The router ID does not matter in this case, because the priority is different. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

The other options are not correct because:

A. At least two routers are required for a DR/BDR election, not three2.

B. Router IDs do not have to match for an adjacency to form, they just have to be unique3.

D. R1 will not be the BDR, because it has a lower priority than R212.
