Explanation

Class A private address space (10.0.0.0/8) supports approximately 16.7 million host addresses, making it the only option capable of accommodating 100,000 employees. Class B private space (172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255) tops out around 1 million addresses across all its ranges, but a single Class B network (/16) only provides ~65,534 hosts. Class C (/24) provides only 254 hosts per network. APIPA (169.254.x.x) is a self-assigned fallback address, not a planned corporate network.
