Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

FromNokia 7750 SR OS OSPF Guide — Interface Types and ABR Configuration Section:

“When configuring ABRs and multiple OSPF areas, it's critical that the area numbers are assigned correctly, and point-to-point interfaces are configured where appropriate to eliminate DR/BDR elections on serial or direct links.”

Analysis:

From topology:

R3 connects Area 0 (to R4) and Area 1 (to R2) → R3 is an ABR.

The correct configuration must:

Assign proper areas for each link.

Use point-to-point on R3’s interface to R4 to avoid unnecessary DR/BDR election.

Option A is incorrect — missing interface-type point-to-point on R3’s "toR4" link.

Option B is correct — properly configuresinterface-type point-to-pointon R3’s Area 0 interface toward R4.

Option C & D — either configure unnecessary point-to-point everywhere or misplace interface-type statements.

Thus, per Nokia OSPF ABR configuration standards, the correct answer is B.
