How many octets are in an IPv4 address?

The correct answer is C. 4. An IPv4 address consists of 4 octets (C), each being an 8-bit value (0–255), separated by dots - for example, 192.168.1.1. Options A (2) and B (3) fall short of the actual structure, while D (5) exceeds it - none of these match the standard 32-bit IPv4 format, which divides…

Explanation

An IPv4 address consists of 4 octets (C), each being an 8-bit value (0–255), separated by dots - for example, 192.168.1.1. Options A (2) and B (3) fall short of the actual structure, while D (5) exceeds it - none of these match the standard 32-bit IPv4 format, which divides evenly into exactly 4 groups of 8 bits. A reliable memory trick: think of IPv4 as having 4 sections just like the 4 in its name - "IPv4 = 4 octets."
