What is the CIDR from the following screenshot?
The correct answer is D. /8D./8D./8. CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation expresses an IP address range by appending a prefix length to the IP address (e.g., 10.0.0.0/8). A /8 prefix means the first 8 bits of the address are the network portion, leaving 24 bits for host addresses - covering 16,777,216…

Explanation
CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation expresses an IP address range by appending a prefix length to the IP address (e.g., 10.0.0.0/8). A /8 prefix means the first 8 bits of the address are the network portion, leaving 24 bits for host addresses - covering 16,777,216 addresses. This corresponds to a traditional Class A network. A /24 covers 256 addresses (one Class C block), /32 identifies a single host, and /16 covers 65,536 addresses. Based on the referenced screenshot, the network shown uses a /8 prefix, indicating a very large Class A-sized network block.
