What type of address is 10.162.02.14?

The notation 10.162.02.14 follows the IPv4 dotted-decimal format of four decimal octets separated by periods, placing it within the Class A private address range (10.0.0.0/8) defined by RFC 1918. Its format unambiguously identifies it as an IP address rather than any other address type.

A MAC address is 48 bits written in hexadecimal with colon or hyphen separators (e.g., 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E), not in dotted-decimal notation.

'Host' describes a role or attribute that an IP address can serve, not a distinct address format or type category.

A broadcast address has all host bits set to 1 for a given subnet; 10.162.02.14 does not conform to that specific bit pattern.

'Unicast' describes the transmission type of the address, not the address format itself; the question asks what kind of address this is.
