BMIS – L1 – SA – Q18.2 – Internet Protocol
Question
The definition of an Internet Protocol (IP) address is:
A Another name for an email address
B A code that uniquely identifies a particular computer on the Internet denoted by four sets of numbers from 0 to 999
C A physical computer dedicated to running one or more services to serve the needs of users and other computers on a network
D A code that uniquely identifies a particular computer on the internet denoted by four sets of numbers from 0 to 255
Answer
D
Explanation:
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a network, typically in the format of four sets of numbers ranging from 0 to 255 (e.g., 192.168.0.1). Option A is incorrect as an email address is distinct from an IP address. Option B is wrong because the range is 0 to 255, not 0 to 999. Option C describes a server, not an IP address. Thus, D is the correct answer.
