Administrative distance refers to the trustworthiness of a particular route. Routes with the smallest metric to a destination indicate the best path.

generally static routing protocol has the most trustworthy administrative distance .i.e; 1 and in dynamic routing protocols EIGRP has the best AD.
Router routes traffic to different computers connected to it.
You must go to ITT. The answer to your question is: The name distance vector is derived from the fact that routes are advertised as vectors of (distance, direction), where distance is defined in terms of a metric and direction is defined in terms of the next-hop router. For example, "Destination A is a distance of 5 hops away, in the direction of next-hop router X." As that statement implies, each router learns routes from its neighboring routers' perspectives and then advertises the routes from its own perspective. Because each router depends on its neighbors for information, which the neighbors in turn may have learned from their neighbors, and so on, distance vector routing is sometimes facetiously referred to as "routing by rumor." Got this from http://www.ciscopress.com/articles/article.asp?p=24090&seqNum=3. I think the answer you need to give will be "hop count".
