is the multicast address used by ____
A
RIP
B
IPV6
C
IPV4
D
DHCP
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, the Routing Information Protocol (RIPv2) uses 224.0. 0.9, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) uses 224.0. 0.5 and 224.0. 0.6, and Multicast DNS uses 224.0.

Detailed explanation-2: -A multicast address identifies a group of hosts sharing the same address. Multicast addresses are not assigned to a device, rather, a device proceeds to listen for and receive traffic destined to a multicast group that it has joined by some process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The IPv4 multicast addresses used for OSPF are 224.0. 0.5 to send information to all OSPF routers and 224.0. 0.6 to send information to DR/BDR routers. The IPv6 multicast addresses are FF02::5 for all OSPFv3 routers and FF02::6 for all DR/BDR routers.
