B . the advertised cost to reach a network
C . the cost to reach a network that is administratively set
D . a measure of the trustworthiness of a routing information source
Answer: D

Administrative distance is a measure of the trustworthiness of the source of the routing information. The smaller the administrative distance value, the more reliable the protocol.
