Explanation
Default Gateway = Router
The Default Gateway is the IP address of the router on the local network - it's the device that forwards traffic from your local network to other networks (including the internet). Options A (file server) and C (computer) are incorrect because servers and general computers are not responsible for routing traffic between networks; they're endpoints, not intermediaries. Option B (local host) is wrong because the local host refers to your own machine, typically represented by 127.0.0.1, which has nothing to do with the gateway.
Memory tip: Think of the Default Gateway as the gate out of your neighborhood - every packet that needs to leave your local network must pass through that gate, which is the router.
