Which statement is true given the IP address 10.

The correct answer is B. There are more than 8 bits in the host portion. The subnet mask 255.255.254.0 converts to a /23 prefix because the first two octets, 255.255, represent 16 network bits, and the third octet value 254 represents seven more network bits. That gives 23 network bits total. IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, so 32 minus 23 leaves 9 host bits. Since 9 is more than 8, option B is correct. HPE Aruba Networking documentation uses prefix length as CIDR subnet-mask notation and supports IPv4 prefix lengths from 1 to 32, matching the /23 interpretation. Option A is incorrect because “10.64” alone is not the full network portion for a /23 network. The actual network range is 10.64.0.0/23. Option C is incorrect because the broadcast address for 10.64.0.0/23 is 10.64.1.255, not 10.64.0.240. Option D is incorrect because 255.255.254.0 is /23, not /25.
