You are designing an OSPF network with multiple areas for a large client. Due to the size of the routing domain, all areas except the backbone area are configured as stub areas. A new requirement is to connect a WAN link to a partner organization with a static route to stub area 100. What should you do to redesign area 100, if anything, in order to support this WAN link while minimizing the size of the link state database?
A) Convert area 100 into an NSSA
B) No configuration changes to area 100 are needed
C) Convert area 100 into a normal area.
D) Redistribute the staticroute as OSPF type E1.

To support the static route in a stub area, area 100 should be converted into a Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA). This allows the static route to be redistributed into OSPF without turning the area into a normal area, thus minimizing the size of the link state database.
