Roman answered the other questions very well, so will leave those alone.

Answers inline.

6) What could go wrong if i didnt configure bgp or ospf router-ID ? - For BGP
and OSPF on the same router and both being in an "UP State" it is recommended
that the Router-ID's that are configured are the same for both process's. Read
RFC 1745 for more details. There are other reasons aswell. I would check the
documentation and Cisco's website for more info

7) Could anything go wrong if i didnt configure passive-interface under RIP

or any IGP for interfaces that will not receive routing info? - Only do this
if they ask you to. You need to keep in mind any "future" changes in the
network and how your commands will affect anything going forward.

8) What type of problems could "ip pim dr-priority 0" solve in the exam

other than the obvious (setting the priority)? - This command is used to set
the priority for which a router is elected as the designated router, nothing
else. I would assume they would normally tell you which router they want to be
the DR
