Routers use the hello protocol to communicate during the DR election
process, the router with the highest priority wins the election.

B is correct.
Proirity and IP both influence who will become the DR.
Take this scenario.
If you have 10 routers on a LAN with their defaults (meaning they all have a
priority of 1 for DR election)
how will the DR be chosen purely on Priority ? How will they know the
priority of the other route
Very Slimy question, but...
A (MAC) is never used to choose the DR.
If two routers are configured with the same priority
Then C (Priority) is not used to choose the DR, if they
do not have the same priority then D (IP address) is
not use to choose the DR. In either case C, and D are
not true i

If answer C is correct, then what happens when all priorities are equal?
Could it still be said that the DR is selected on the basis of Priority
alone?
What about answer B? Regardless of the interface priority, isn't the
DR selected using a hello protocol?

Hello protocol is the process by which a DR is elected. Priority influences
the election process.

E-mail the author of the test with your concerns or call Boson directly.
Their phone number is on their web page.

Priority is one of the fields in Hello Protocol

If the question were worded, "In OSPF, the DR is chosen with", I might agree
with the Boson answer, but it seems incorrect with the question stated as
such.
It is fairly ambiguous, but I wouldn't worry about it. You obviously
understand the concept and that is what is really important. I wouldn't
You are right. I found other wrong answers in Boson test too.
