20.0.0.255

B.
20.0.0.132

C.
20.0.0.122

D.

Explanation:
When the user creates a subnet in VPC, he specifies the CIDR block for the subnet. In this case the user has
created a VPC with the CIDR block 20.0.0.0/24, which supports 256 IP addresses (20.0.0.0 to 20.0.0.255. The
public subnet will have IP addresses between 20.0.0.0 – 20.0.0.127 and the private subnet will have IP
addresses between 20.0.0.128 – 20.0.0.255. AWS reserves the first four IP addresses and the last IP address
in each subnet’s CIDR block. These are not available for the user to use. Thus, the instance cannot have an IP
address of 20.0.0.255
