Final answer:
The current OSPF neighbor state when a router has sent Hello packets and has not received any from the neighbor with their RID is the Init state. This indicates that there is no bidirectional communication yet. The correct option is B.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a router using the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol has sent Hello packets but has not received any from the neighbor router with their Router ID (RID), it indicates that the OSPF neighbor relationship has not been fully established. In this case, the OSPF neighbor state would be Init. In the Init state, the router has heard from its neighbor, but bidirectional communication has not been established. This is one step further than the Down state, where there is no indication that the other router exists, but is not as advanced as the 2-Way state where the routers have agreed that they can communicate directly.
OSPF's 2-Way state indicates that both routers have agreed to communicate, which would only be after receiving Hello packets from each other containing their respective RIDs. The Exstart and Exchange states come into play later in the process of forming a full neighbor relationship, where routers begin to exchange link-state information. Understanding OSPF states is crucial for network professionals to troubleshoot and ensure proper OSPF operations within their networks.
