    “The range 49152–65535 (215+214 to 216−1) contains dynamic or private ports that cannot be registered with IANA.[177] This range is used for private, or customized services or temporary purposes and for automatic allocation of ephemeral ports.”

    The correct answer is “A” – Well known ports.
