Which one of the following IPv4 addresses can be used as a valid host IP address?Question 18Select one:a.10.0.0.0/24b.224.0.0.80c.10.0.0.80/24d.10.0.0.255/24

The valid host IP address from the options given is c. 10.0.0.80/24.

Here's why:

a. 10.0.0.0/24 - This is a network address, not a host address. In a /24 subnet, the .0 address is reserved for network identification.

b. 224.0.0.80 - This falls within the range of multicast addresses (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255) and therefore cannot be used as a host address.

c. 10.0.0.80/24 - This is a valid host address. It falls within the private IP address range (10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255) and is not a network or broadcast address in a /24 subnet.

d. 10.0.0.255/24 - This is a broadcast address, not a host address. In a /24 subnet, the .255 address is reserved for broadcast messages to all hosts on the network.
