Correct option is B
The correct answer is
(b) A, B, D, and E only. This set of statements correctly describes IPv4 addressing and subnetting. IPv4 addresses are structured, with specific blocks used for various purposes, and supernetting combines networks for efficiency.

IPv4 Addressing:
· A block of IPv4 addresses is represented by x.y.z.t/n, where x.y.z.t represents an address and /n represents the number of fixed bits in the subnet mask.
· The first address in a block can be derived by setting the rightmost 32-n bits to 0.
·
Supernetting:
· Supernetting is a technique that merges multiple networks into one larger network, often used to improve routing efficiency.
