If the router is in weks or days, chances are you are using a link state protocol where the route has not had to be converged in weeks. In a distance vector the tables get updated frequently and the time factor would be in seconds.Therefore answer is d

Which one is correct?<br />
<br />
a. the amount of time that has passed since the routing table was created<br />
b. a decrementing counter indicating when the next routing update is expected for this route<br />
c. the amount of time since a hello packet was received from the neighbor that advertised this route<br />
d. an incrementing counter indicating how long the route has been in the routing table since the last update<br />

What is the time value means in Show ip route?

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
