You are mixing IGP with IBGP. IGP means routing Interior Gateway Protocols, like IGRP, RIP, EIGRP, OSPF etc.
RT3# show ip route bgp
B 202.176.56.0/24 [200/1782] via 192.168.1.1, 00:18:58
Above route entry is clearly showing that BGP metric is 1782 - which is not included in given answers.
So, "RT3 has a BGP metric of 782 to reach 192.168.1.1." is incorrect. Notice the word "BGP" and "782".
The given answer "RT3 has an IGP metric of 782 to reach 192.168.1.1" can be verified easily from the output of show ip bgp 202.175.56.0
Please pay close attention to terminology and wording traps.
