The exhibit illustrates a PIM multicast environment where router R2 has received a multicast packet from Source 1 (192.168.100.10) on its ge-0/0/4.0 interface. To prevent loops, PIM-SM uses a mechanism called Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF).

RPF Check Process (Option A): When a multicast packet arrives, the router performs an RPF check by looking up the source ' s IP address in its unicast routing table (typically inet.0).

The exhibit ' s command output, show multicast rpf 192.168.100.10, explicitly shows that for the source network $192.168.100.0/24$, the RPF interface is ge-0/0/1.0.

Because the packet actually arrived on ge-0/0/4.0 instead of the expected ge-0/0/1.0 interface, the RPF check fails.

Packet Discard (Option C): According to standard PIM-SM operation in Junos OS 24.4, if a multicast packet fails the RPF check—meaning it arrived on an interface that the router does not use to reach the source via unicast—the packet is discarded. This is a fundamental loop-prevention mechanism that ensures multicast traffic is only accepted from the shortest path toward the source.

Option B is incorrect because the router will not add any interfaces to the Outgoing Interface List (OIL) for a packet that fails the initial RPF check.

Option D is incorrect because the exhibit clearly shows the interface in the RPF table (ge-0/0/1.0) is different from the interface where the packet was received (ge-0/0/4.0).
