D.
The broadcast address of the subnet is 10.16.3.255 255.255.254.0.

E.
The network is not subnetted.

Explanation:
The mask 255.255.254.0 (/23) used with a Class A address means that there are 15
subnet bits and 9 host bits. The block size in the third octet is 2 (256 – 254). So this makes the
subnets in 0, 2, 4, 6, etc., all the way to 254. The host 10.16.3.65 is in the 2.0 subnet. The next
subnet is 4.0, so the broadcast address for the 2.0 subnet is 3.255. The valid host addresses are
2.1 through 3.254
