A global company has acquired a local company. The companies are geographically separate. The fully utilized IP address ranges for the two companies are as follows: - Global company: 10.0.0.0/16…

The correct answer is D. Assign a NAT range to the local company. Because the two organizations use overlapping IP space, direct routing will not work. Assigning a NAT range to the local company allows immediate connectivity by translating the overlapping addresses, avoiding the disruption of renumbering the entire local company.
