CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 178

A network administrator needs to set up a multicast network for audio and video broadcasting. Which of the following networks would be the most appropriate for this application?

Answer options

• A. 172.16.0.0/24
• B. 192.168.0.0/24
• C. 224.0.0.0/24
• D. 240.0.0.0/24

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the IP range 224.0.0.0/4 is designated for multicast traffic. Options A and B are private IP ranges, which are not suitable for multicast broadcasting. Option D, while a valid IP range, is not used for multicast purposes and is reserved for future use.
