Are you sure the question didn't say, "What are some characteristics of ALL routing protocols?" Then the answer is E because routing protocols behave differently and no answer applies to ALL of them.
Some routing protocols don't send periodic updates. For example, EIGRP doesn't. Many routing protocols don't have a separate hello mechanisms, including RIP and IGRP. I think C and D were a feeble attempt to distinguish link-state and distance-vector maybe. However, one could certainly argue that both exchange information about links and routes. But I bet that's not what the test writer had in mind. Regardless, it's a bad question, lacking in logic and technical accuracy, in my opinion.
