C
Explanation: C) The address 192.186.26.97 is a Class A address, which means the first 3 bits are 110 and the next 21 are reserved for network bits. The other 8 bits are used for hosts. With the mask of /29, or 255.255.255.248, the host portion is subdivided to provide 5 host bits to be used for subnet and the other 3 host bits used for host space. This means that the first 29 bits will be the same for all the devices within a subnet, with the highest number used for the broadcast address. The address 192.86.26.97 converts to 11000000 01010110 00011010 01100001 in decimal. The first 29 bits don't change; the rest of the bits change to 1s to get the binary broadcast address 11000000 01010110 00011010 01100111.
