As the network engineer, you are asked to design an IP subnet plan that calls for 12 subnets. The largest subnet needs a minimum of 12 hosts. Management requires that a single mask must be used throughout the Class C network. Which of the following is a public IP network and mask that would meet the requirements?

A) 216.122.44.0 /25
B) 216.122.44.0 /26
C) 216.122.44.0 /27
D) 216.122.44.0 /28

D
Explanation: D) The correct answer is 216.122.44.0 /28 because the only mask that would fit the requirements of 12 subnets and 16 hosts is /28, or 255.255.255.240, which would give you 16 subnets and 14 hosts per subnet.
