Which of the following is the number of octets in an IPv4 address?

The correct answer is A. 4. An IPv4 address is 32 bits long, divided into four groups of 8 bits each - these groups are called octets. Each octet is written as a decimal number (0–255) separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.100). Four octets × 8 bits = 32 bits total. The other choices are incorrect: 8 octets…

Explanation

An IPv4 address is 32 bits long, divided into four groups of 8 bits each - these groups are called octets. Each octet is written as a decimal number (0–255) separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.100). Four octets × 8 bits = 32 bits total. The other choices are incorrect: 8 octets would be 64 bits (more like IPv6's structure), 16 octets would be 128 bits, and 64 octets would be 512 bits.
