Using the output below: IPv4 Address: 172.25.1.39 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Router: 172.25.1.252 Name Server: 172.25.1.4 Which of the following is the default gateway?

The correct answer is A. 172.25.1.252. The default gateway is the IP address of the router that a device uses to send traffic destined for networks outside its local subnet. In the output shown (from ipconfig or similar), the 'Router' field directly identifies the default gateway. 172.25.1.39 is the device's own IPv4

Explanation

The default gateway is the IP address of the router that a device uses to send traffic destined for networks outside its local subnet. In the output shown (from ipconfig or similar), the 'Router' field directly identifies the default gateway. 172.25.1.39 is the device's own IPv4 address. 172.25.1.4 is the DNS name server. 255.255.255.0 is the subnet mask used to determine which addresses are on the local network. Therefore, 172.25.1.252 (the router) is the correct default gateway.
