Why each option
Private IPv4 address ranges are reserved for internal network use, enabling multiple organizations to reuse the same addresses without causing global routing conflicts.
Private IPv4 addresses (defined in RFC 1918) are non-routable on the public internet, allowing organizations worldwide to use the same ranges (e.g., 10.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/16) within their private networks without causing global IP address conflicts.
Private IP addresses are not routable on the public internet, meaning they do not provide a direct connection for hosts from outside the enterprise network.
