Explanation
Subnetting (D) is the process of dividing a larger IP address space into smaller, logically distinct network segments by extending the network prefix (subnet mask). Each resulting subnet is an isolated broadcast domain with its own range of host addresses. NAT (A) translates between private and public IP addresses but does not segment an address space. Virtualization (B) abstracts compute resources and has no direct role in IP address segmentation. NAC (C) - Network Access Control - governs which devices are permitted onto a network but does not segment IP address blocks.
