Why each option
Private IPv4 addresses are free to use within an organization and can be assigned to internal devices that do not require direct public Internet access.
Private IP addresses are not routed on the public internet; they require Network Address Translation (NAT) to communicate with public networks.
Private IP addresses are not registered or purchased, making them a free resource for internal network use, unlike public IP addresses that often incur costs.
Devices within a private network can communicate internally using private IP addresses without needing a public IP address or direct internet connection, conserving public IPv4 address space.
Private IP addresses typically *increase* the necessity for NAT policies if devices on the private network need to access the public internet, as they must be translated to public IP addresses.
Private IP addresses do not eliminate duplicate IP conflicts; within any given network segment, each device must still have a unique IP address to avoid conflicts.
