(A) 6
(B) 8
(C) 4
(D) None of the Above
Answer: (B)
Explanation: Default subnet mask of class C is 255.255.255.0.
In subnetting Number of bits are borrowed from host bits.
Given Subnet mask 11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000
3 bits are borrowed form host bits as default subnet mask is 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
Number of Subnets = 2^n, n is number of bits borrowed from host bits i.e 3
= 8 subnets possible.
