Default BGP keepalive timer in Junos is 30 seconds

The default keepalive time for BGP is 30 seconds, which means that BGP peers send keepalive messages to each other every 30 seconds to verify the liveness of the BGP session. If no keepalive message is received from a peer within the hold time, which is 90 seconds by default, the peer is considered to be unavailable and the BGP session is closed. The keepalive time and the hold time can be configured manually for each BGP peer or peer group, but they must match on both ends of the BGP session. The keepalive time should be one third of the hold time for optimal performance. Therefore, option C is correct and the other options are incorrect. References:  BGP keepalive messages and hold time - Juniper Networks

An aggregate route is a route that summarizes multiple more specific routes into a single route advertisement. For example, an aggregate route to 10.0.0.0/8 can represent many routes to 10.x.x.x/24 subnets. An aggregate route has several purposes, such as:

To decrease the number of route advertisements: By consolidating multiple routes into one, an aggregate route reduces the size of the routing table and the amount of routing updates that need to be exchanged between routers. This can improve the scalability and efficiency of the network12.

To hide internal routes from external peers: By advertising only the aggregate route and not the more specific routes, an aggregate route can provide a level of abstraction and security for the internal network topology. This can prevent external peers from knowing the details of the internal routes and avoid potential attacks or misconfigurations13.

The other options are not correct because:

C. To allow external peers to see internal routes: This is the opposite of what an aggregate route does. An aggregate route hides the internal routes from external peers, not exposes them13.

D. To increase the number of route advertisements: This is also the opposite of what an aggregate route does. An aggregate route decreases the number of route advertisements, not increases them12.
