A. B. C. D.C
The Inet.0 routing table is a system-generated routing table that is used to store IPv4 unicast routing information. Therefore, the correct answer is option C: IP version 4 unicast routes.
The Inet.0 table stores the IPv4 unicast routing information that is learned from all routing protocols running on the device, such as OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, RIP, and others. It also includes any static routes that have been configured on the device.
The Inet.0 table does not store information about multicast or IPv6 routes. Instead, multicast routes are stored in the Multicast forwarding table, and IPv6 routes are stored in the Inet6.0 routing table.
ARP tables and MAC reachability information are stored in the Ethernet-switching table, which is used to forward packets within the local Ethernet broadcast domain. The Ethernet-switching table is separate from the Inet.0 table and is not used for routing packets between networks.
In summary, the Inet.0 routing table stores IPv4 unicast routing information learned from various routing protocols and configured static routes. It does not store information about multicast, IPv6, ARP tables, or MAC reachability.
