Which statement is true concerning configuring static routes using next$-$hop addresses?

Question $6$ options:

Routes associated with a next$-$hop address are more efficient than routes going to exit interfaces.

When the router identifies that a packet is destined for a route associated with a next$-$hop address in the routing table, the router requires no further information and can immediately forward the packet.

Routers cannot use more than one static route with a next$-$hop address.

Routers configured with the static route using a next$-$hop address must either have the exit interface listed in the route or have another route with the network of the next hop and an associated exit interface.
