If the question is asked in OSPF, i would use the "ip ospf 1 area xx"
interface configuration command to advertise it, before i think of
redistribution and other choices, but once again you should be asking for
a clarification. I doubt that the proctor will agree to a command but ask
for a clarification anyway it may give you a better clue.
