I guess my question is how in depth does your answer need to be? As a real generalized answer it's pretty good. I would maybe add something about Connected then Static Routes. It's possible to manage a network without a routing protocol using just static routes. But routing protocols can definitely make it easier in larger networks. Maybe also mention Route Specificity that when cost is equal and multiple routes are available the decision is based on how specific the route is. The smaller the network the higher priority.
