Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
In the TCP/IP model, the standard Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address assigned to each host consists of 32 bits. These 32 bits are typically divided into four octets, each represented by a decimal number between 0 and 255. While IPv6 uses 128 bits, the context of this question refers to the traditional 32-bit IPv4 addressing scheme commonly used in networking fundamentals.
