Answer: D

Explanation:

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is used to route data between autonomous systems (AS’s)

A collection of networks that fall within the same administrative domain is called an autonomous system (AS).

The routers within an AS use an interior gateway protocol, such as the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) or the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, to exchange routing information among themselves. At the edges of an AS are routers that communicate with the other AS’s on the Internet, using an exterior gateway protocol such as the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
