This sounds like a homework question. Re-read the chapter and try answering the question on your own.

You don't say WHAT kind of router so I can't be too specific but the contents of a routing table are pretty universal. Basically you will have a number of IP prefixes, along with reachability information, or the next hop, for each one. This may consist of a physical interface or another host or router that may have knowledge of how to reach a network.
Routing tables can be populated dynamically by routing protocols (EIGRP, BGP, OSPF, RIP, etc) or by preconfigured static routing statements. You may also learn or configure a default route, which allows traffic to be forwarded to a destination even if it hasn't be learned or statically defined.

It's from Cisco but it does apply to IPv4 routing in general.

IPs and subnets from the network that has been configured on the router and the routers connected to it along with routing/routed protocols.
