Correct answer: weighted.
Why this is the answer
The weighted load-balancing method in GLBP allows you to assign a weight to each gateway, and traffic is distributed proportionally to these weights. This is ideal when routers have differing throughput or capacity, as higher-capacity routers can handle more traffic. Round robin distributes traffic equally among all gateways, ignoring capacity differences. Host-dependent ensures a host always uses the same gateway, which doesn't account for unequal capacity. Least connection is not a standard GLBP load-balancing method; it's typically used in server load balancing to direct traffic to the server with the fewest active connections.
