What statement correctly describes a feature of RIP?

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a distance-vector routing protocol that uses hop count as its metric for path selection. RIP routers broadcast their entire routing table every 30 seconds as a broadcast. RIP is classified as a classful routing protocol, meaning it does not support the use of VLSM (Variable Length Subnet Masking) and requires all devices in a network to use the same subnet mask.
