Why each option

The question asks for the command to configure PAT (Port Address Translation) to allow multiple internal users to share a single public IP address for internet access.

ARouterA(config)# ip nat inside source static 172.16.1.1 172.16.1.2

This command configures static NAT, mapping a single internal IP to a single internal-range IP, which does not provide one global address for many local addresses.

BRouterA(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool cisco

This command configures dynamic NAT without overload, which uses a pool of global IPs for one-to-one translation and does not allow multiple internal hosts to share a single global IP.

CRouterA(config)# ip nat inside source static 172.16.1.1 193.64.64.1

This command configures static NAT, mapping a single internal IP to a single external IP, which does not meet the requirement for many local addresses sharing one global address.

DRouterA(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool cisco overloadCorrect

The command `ip nat inside source list 1 pool cisco overload` correctly configures PAT. It specifies that traffic matching access-list 1 should be translated using addresses from the 'cisco' pool, with the `overload` keyword enabling port translation to allow many internal hosts to share one global IP.
