A
a built-in static route by IOS
B
a static route shared between two neighboring routers
C
a default static route
D
a static route converted from a route that is learned through a dynamic routing protocol
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A default static route is a route that matches all packets. A default route identifies the gateway IP address to which the router sends all IP packets that it does not have a learned or static route for. A default static route is simply a static route with 0.0. 0.0/0 as the destination IPv4 address.

Detailed explanation-2: -A default route is a type of static route that specifies a gateway to use when the routing table does not contain a path for the destination network.

Detailed explanation-3: -A static route forces the DataPower appliance to use a specific interface and a specific set of network hops to access a given set of destinations. The “default route” is created by setting the Default Gateway of an interface on a DataPower appliance.

Detailed explanation-4: -A default route defines where packets will be sent if no specific route for the destination network is listed in the routing table. If no default route is set, the router will discard all packets with destination addresses not found in its routing table.
