D will still send updates to router C but it would be with a metric of
"unreachable" or 16 hops for RIP. C will look at this and will:

a) If an update was received from B first, for a better route, it will put
it in the database and drop the "unreachable" packet being sent to it.

b) If an update was received from D, it will enter it into the route as
unreachable, start the holddown timer but will eventually update its
database when it receives an updated route from B. Since B's route will be
better than "unreachable", the holddown timer will be ignored and the route
reinstated.

Hope this answers your question.

As far as triggered update goes, on page 25, #1 of RIP Convergence, it says
"Router D creates a new flash update and sends it to Router E"... that is
upon receiving a flash update from C.
