(c) 255.255.255.255

(d) None of the mentioned

I got this question during a job interview.

Origin of the question is Designing Subnets in division Internet Protocol, Network Addressing and Transport Level Security of Cryptograph & Network Security

Answer 1

Right option is (a) 0.0.0.0

To explain I would say: Network address is given by 0.0.0.0. It is reserved for communication when a host needs to send an IPv4 packet but it does not know its own address.
