Which size are IPv4 addresses?
The correct answer is C. 32 bit. IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, written as four octets (e.g., 192.168.1.1), where each octet is 8 bits - giving 4 × 8 = 32 bits total. A (8 bit) is wrong - 8 bits is just one octet, a single segment of an IPv4 address, not the full address. B (24 bit) is wrong - this is three…

Explanation
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, written as four octets (e.g., 192.168.1.1), where each octet is 8 bits - giving 4 × 8 = 32 bits total.
- A (8 bit) is wrong - 8 bits is just one octet, a single segment of an IPv4 address, not the full address.
- B (24 bit) is wrong - this is three octets; a common subnet mask size, not an address length.
- D (128 bit) is wrong - that's the size of an IPv6 address, the newer protocol designed to replace IPv4.
Memory tip: Think "IPv4 = 4 octets × 8 bits = 32 bits." The version number 4 directly hints at the four 8-bit groups.
