CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 48

An IP address is 32 bits long. If converted to bytes, it would be:

Answer options

• A. 4 bytes
• B. 8 bytes
• C. 16 bytes
• D. 64 bytes

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An IP address is made up of 32 bits, and since 1 byte equals 8 bits, dividing 32 by 8 results in 4 bytes. The other options (8, 16, and 64 bytes) do not accurately represent the conversion from bits to bytes for an IP address.
