Static routing is a core feature of MikroTik RouterOS and is included in the default 'system' package. You do not need to install any additional packages (like the "routing" package) for simple static routing.
The routing package is only needed for advanced dynamic routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, and RIP. For manually configured static routes, the system package alone is sufficient.
Let's evaluate:
* A.#Correct. Static routing is part of the default system.
* B.#advanced-tools are for diagnostics and tools like traceroute, bandwidth-test, etc.
* C.#routing package is for dynamic protocols (OSPF, BGP, etc.), not static routes
* D.#dhcp is unrelated to routing - used for dynamic host IP assignment MTCNA Course Manual - Routing Fundamentals:
"Static routing requires no additional package - it is included in the base system." Rene Meneses Guide - Routing Overview:
"For static routes, you do not need the 'routing' package. That's only for protocols like BGP or OSPF." Terry Combs Notes - Routing Concepts:
"No extra packages needed for static routes. Just use /ip route."
