Answer options

• A. IP netmask
• B. IP subnet
• C. IP wildcard mask
• D. IP range

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The address object `10.5.1.1/0.127.248.2` is classified as an IP wildcard mask because it uses a specific format where the first part is the IP address and the second part denotes the bits that are ignored. The other options do not apply as an IP netmask, IP subnet, or IP range do not utilize this particular notation.
