The router will forward the packet to the next-hop address 10.0.0.2. When a router has multiple routes for a destination, it uses the route with the longest prefix match. A host route (/32 or 255.255.255.255) is the most specific route possible. In this case, the route to 192.168.1.10/32 is more specific than the route to 192.168.1.0/24. Therefore, the router will use the host route to forward the packet to 10.0.0.2.
