A network administrator is troubleshooting a connectivity issue in a network that uses the Routing Information Protocol $($RIP$).$

Router A is supposed to route traffic to the $10\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}3\mathrm{.}0/24$ network via Router B$.$ However, traffic destined for $10\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}3\mathrm{.}0/24$ is not reaching its destination.

The administrator notices that Router A recently received an update from Router $C,$ which also advertises a route to $10\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}3\mathrm{.}0/24$ with a lower hop count than the route through Router B$.$

What is the MOST likely reason for the connectivity issue?

Router B is down.

Router A has a misconfigured interface.

Router A updated its routing table to use the route through Router $C.$

Router C is advertising an incorrect route.
