A.
country code

B.
subscriber code

C.
national destination code

D.
provider code

Explanation:
E.164 is an international numbering plan created by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Each number in the E.164 numbering plan

contains the following components:

* Country code (CC)
* National destination code (NDC optional)
* Subscriber number (SN)

The CC consists of one, two or three digits. It is what we add in order to access different countries and often prefixed with a +

The NDC is the code we often call the area code.

The SN is for telephone numbering. It is given by your phone operator.

E.164 numbers are limited to a maximum length of 15 digits.

For example, the North American Numbering Plan E.164 is as follows:

1-602-555-1212

+ 1: Country code

+ 602555: National destination code (for North American Numbering Plan, 602 is called the area code while 555 is called Central Office Code)

+ 1212: Subscribe Number

Answer C is also correct but just optional. E.164 Numbering Plan must have Country Code and Subscriber Code so A & B are the correct answers.
