Which of the following ranges represents Private IPv4 Addresses?

The range of private IPv4 addresses is defined by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in private networks. The correct answer represents one of the established private address ranges, specifically designed for local area networks.

The range from 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 provides a large block of addresses that can accommodate many devices within a private network, allowing for extensive internal networking without exposing these addresses to the public internet. This range is defined under RFC 1918 as a dedicated space for private use, meaning it can be used without the need for coordination with an external authority.

In contrast, the other options presented do not comply with the criteria for private IPv4 addresses. The range 192.0.0.0 to 192.255.255.255 falls under public IP addresses with a small subset designated for specific purposes, such as documentation. The range 172.0.0.0 to 172.15.255.255 includes only part of the private range defined in RFC 1918. The correct private range here is actually 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255. The last option, 198.51.
