Correct answer: Establishes a static route to 172.16.3.0/24, Uses the default administrative distance.
Why this is the answer
The command ip route 172.16.3.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.4 establishes a static route. The destination network for this route is 172.16.3.0 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which is equivalent to /24. The 192.168.2.4 is the next-hop IP address to reach this destination network. Static routes configured this way have a default administrative distance of 1, making them preferred over routes learned via most dynamic routing protocols. Incorrect options: "Establishes a static route to 192.168.2.0" is incorrect because 192.168.2.4 is the next-hop, not the destination network. "Sends unknown-destination traffic to 172.16.3.0" and "Sends unknown-destination traffic out the next-hop 192.168.2.4" are incorrect because this is a specific route, not a default route (which would be ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 ...). "Would be used last if other routes to the same destination exist" is incorrect because a static route with an AD of 1 is generally preferred over routes with higher ADs.
