A network administrator is troubleshooting connectivity issues in a network. The administrator notices that a router has two routes to the same destination network $192\mathrm{.}168.\frac{0}{24}$ in its routing table: one learned via a static route with an AD of $1$ and a metric of $0,$ and another learned via RIP with an AD of $120$ and a metric of $4.$

The administrator wants to ensure the router always prefers the route learned via RIP unless it becomes unavailable.

What action should the administrator take?

Increase the AD of the static route to a value higher than $120.$

Increase the metric of the static route to a value higher than $4.$

Decrease the metric of the RIP route to $0.$

Decrease the AD of the RIP route to $0.$
