    A – totally wrong. /25 has 128, /24 has 256
    B – Might be true, but we don’t know how many users they have with just the info given
    C – Probably the right answer. VLANs should have no more than 250 available IP addresses for easy maintanence. If choosing between /25 and /24, /24 has more wiggle room to add more users/endpoints.
    D – All subnets have the same “compatibility” with IPv6, whatever that means…
