   A network administrator is evaluating routing options for a new branch office. The branch has a single link to the corporate network, but the corporate network is large and dynamic. The administrator wants to minimize configuration on the branch router while ensuring that the branch can reach all corporate subnets. Which approach is most appropriate?

   • BConfigure a default static route on the branch router pointing to the corporate network.
   • CConfigure static routes for every corporate subnet on the branch router.
   • DUse a combination of static and dynamic routing on the branch router.
