In defence of my earlier position that "d" is in fact the other correct answer.

I would argue that that RFC 2328 describes the repository for link/state information 
as the link state database.  I personally feel that a substitution of database for 
table is acceptable.   I think we would all agree, that a large number of prefix's 
would lead to a proportionally large table/database of link states.

Here is an excerpt from 2328

"The collected link state advertisements of all routers and networks forms the 
protocol's link state database."

However, if D is wrong, which of the other 2 are right?  I would tend to think that D 
is the least wrong of the three remaining choices.  Overall, I think this is another 
example of technical lack of precision leading to unnecessary ambiguity.
