The administrator has configured an IP address for Host A and Host B, but had forgotten to configure a default gateway.
What effect will this have on the hosts?

If a default gateway is not configured, the hosts will be unable to reach remote network destinations because the default gateway is used to forward traffic from the local network to other networks. However, this does not affect local communication within the same network. Therefore, the correct answer is that the hosts will be unable to reach neither the local nor remote network destinations.
real answer is B
If the hosts are in the same LAN they can communicate each other withou a default route, but if they are in different lan they need to have a default gateaway or an ARPProxy enable on the router.
you don't if the router has a g0/0/0 interface
Real answer is C as arp-proxy needs to be enabled - https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1000178170/84487237/configuring-proxy-arp
