A
Directly-connected routes
B
Local routes
C
Static routes
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -After directly connected interfaces are configured and added to the routing table, static or dynamic routing can be implemented. Static routes are manually configured. They define an explicit path between two networking devices.

Detailed explanation-2: -Static routing. Static route is the term applied to any route in a routing table that has been manually coded (entered). For example, when the routing requirements between networks are very simple, routing tables can easily be coded directly into the host to provide all connectivity requirements.

Detailed explanation-3: -Static routing is the process of manually inputting routes in a computer’s routing table using a configuration file or network administrator . Configuration files load when a routing device powers up, providing the network with programmed routes that help control the flow of information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Static Routing – This is the method by which an administrator manually adds routes to the routing table of a router. This is a method for small networks but it is not scalable for larger networks. Default Routing – This is the method where all routers are configured to send all packets towards a single router.
