B. Send the packet out the Serial0/0/0 interface.

Explanation:

In order for packets to be sent to a remote destination, these three parameters must be configured on a host.

- Default gateway

- IP address

- Subnet mask

After a router successfully determines the destination network, the router checks the routing table for the resulting destination network number. If a match is found, the interface associated with the network number receives the packets. Else, the default gateway configured is used.

Also, If there is no default gateway, the packet is dropped.

Since the 192.168.12.227 network is not found in the routing table and the router uses the default gateway. The router then send the packet out the Serial0/0/0 interface which is the interface associated with the address 209.165.200.224/30.
