Which subnet would include the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address?Group of answer choices192.168.1.64/29192.168.1.32/28192.168.1.32/27192.168.1.64/26

The subnet that would include the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address is 192.168.1.64/26.

Here's why:

1. First, we need to understand what the /26 means. This is called CIDR notation and it tells us how many bits are used for the network portion of the address. In this case, 26 bits are used for the network and the remaining 6 bits (32 total - 26) are used for host addresses.

2. Next, we need to calculate the range of addresses in the 192.168.1.64/26 subnet. The 6 bits for hosts means we have 2^6 (64) total addresses in the subnet. However, the first address is the network address and the last address is the broadcast address, so we subtract 2 to get 62 usable addresses.

3. The range of addresses in the 192.168.1.64/26 subnet is therefore 192.168.1.64 to 192.168.1.127 (64 + 63).

4. Since 192.168.1.96 falls within this range, it is a usable host address in the 192.168.1.64/26 subnet.

The other subnets (192.168.1.64/29, 192.168.1.32/28, 192.168.1.32/27) have smaller ranges that do not include 192.168.1.
