Correct answer: A
Explanation
The subnet 192.168.50.0/24 encompasses IP addresses from 192.168.50.1 to 192.168.50.254. The IP address 192.168.50.25 falls within this range, making it part of the subnet. Additionally, the IP address is within the private address range defined in RFC 1918 (192.168.0.0, 192.168.255.255). Therefore, the IP address 192.168.50.25 is both in the correct subnet and is a private IP address.
- A. Correct.
This is correct because 192.168.50.25 falls within the range of the subnet 192.168.50.0/24 (192.168.50.1 to 192.168.50.254) and is part of the private IP range (192.168.0.0, 192.168.255.255).
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because the IP address 192.168.50.25 is a private IP address as defined in RFC 1918.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because the IP address 192.168.50.25 does belong to the subnet 192.168.50.0/24.
