Which is a routed protocol?

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)
Internet Protocol (IP)
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

The correct answer is: Internet Protocol (IP)

The correct answer is the Internet Protocol (IP) because it is fundamentally designed to route packets across different networks. Routers utilize IP to determine the best path for data to travel, based on the destination IP address. IP provides the necessary addressing scheme that enables devices on different networks to communicate with each other, making it a core component of the Internet and various private networks. In contrast, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and Routing Information Protocol (RIP) are all routing protocols. These protocols are used by routers to exchange routing information and determine the best route for data packets but do not themselves serve as protocols for routing the packets. Instead, they rely on IP to facilitate that process.
