SY0-301 · Question #545
Which of the following would allow the organization to divide a Class C IP address range into several ranges?
The correct answer is D. Subnetting. Subnetting is the process of dividing a single IP address range, such as a Class C block, into multiple smaller network segments using subnet masks.

Why each option
Subnetting is the process of dividing a single IP address range, such as a Class C block, into multiple smaller network segments using subnet masks.
A DMZ is a network segmentation architecture concept, not a mechanism for dividing an IP address range into multiple smaller ranges.
Virtual LANs segment a network logically at Layer 2 but do not divide an IP address range into multiple subnets.
NAT translates IP addresses between networks but does not divide a single IP range into multiple smaller ranges.
Subnetting uses variable-length subnet masks (VLSM) to partition a Class C /24 network into multiple smaller subnets by borrowing bits from the host portion of the address. This allows an organization to create several distinct IP ranges from one original Class C block for segmentation and traffic management purposes.
