(A) In IPv4 addressing, a block of addresses can be defined as x.y.z.t/n, in which x.y.z.t defines one of the addresses and /n defines the mask.
(B) The first address in the block can be found by setting the rightmost 32 − n bits to 0s.
(C) Class C addresses are used for multicast communication.
(D) There are five classes in IPv4 addressing.
