The correct answer is 1000.100.10.1.

Key Points

  • A network interface on a system is uniquely identified by its 32-bit IPv4 address.
  • The format of an IPv4 address is typically four 8-bit fields separated by periods, printed in decimal digits.
  • A byte of the IPv4 address is represented by each 8-bit field.
  • Dotted-decimal format is a common name for this way of expressing the bytes of an IPv4 address.
  • The network component and the host part are the additional divisions made in the IPv4 address's bytes.
  • Each octet in IPv4 address can have a value from 0 to 255, but in option 4 the first octet value is 1000 which is not valid. Consequently, it can not be a valid IPv4 address.

Important Points

  • The unique number allocated to the network is specified in the network component.
  • The allocated class of the network is also identified by the network component.
  • The portion of the IPv4 address that you give to each host is known as the host part.
  • This machine on your network is identified by the host part specifically.
