Why each option

The administratively scoped multicast address block is defined as 239.0.0.0/8, which covers the range from 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.

A239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255Correct

The range 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 accurately defines the entire administratively scoped multicast address block, which is designated for private use within an organization.

B232.0.0.0 to 232.255.255.255

The range 232.0.0.0 to 232.255.255.255 (232.0.0.0/8) is designated for Source-Specific Multicast (SSM), not administratively scoped multicast.

C224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255

The range 224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 is reserved as the "Local Network Control Block" for local subnet control traffic, not for administratively scoped purposes.

D239.0.0.0/8Correct

239.0.0.0/8 is the CIDR notation for the administratively scoped multicast address block, encompassing all addresses within the 239.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 range.

E224.0.1.0/24

224.0.1.0/24 is a sub-range within the internetwork control block, often used for specific protocol control traffic, but it is not the administratively scoped block.
