Wow, this is a tricky one. I'm gonna have to go with option B and change the local-preference on R1. That should do the trick!

I think option B is the best choice too. Changing the local-preference on R1 makes sense.

I agree with Brigette. Adjusting the local-preference on R1 seems like the most logical solution here. Why mess with the metric when we can just prioritize the preferred path?

Hmm, I'm not sure changing the metric attribute on R1 is the right approach. Shouldn't we focus on the local-preference to influence the BGP path selection?

The issue seems to be with the R1-R2-R3-R4 path not being considered. I think changing the local-preference attribute on R1 would be the best solution to resolve this.
