Explanation

RFC 1918 defines three private (non-routable) IP address ranges: 10.0.0.0–10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255, and 192.168.0.0–192.168.255.255. Only 172.16.19.241 falls within one of these ranges (the 172.16/12 block). Option A (11.x) is a public range, option B (171.x) is outside the 172.16–172.31 range, and option D (193.168.x) is close to but not within the 192.168.x.x private block.
