C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The router has a “pool” of IP addresses that it keeps track of. When a computer connects to it and asks for an IP address, the router picks an IP address from the pool and assigns it to the computer.

Detailed explanation-2: -Each IP packet contains both a header (20 or 24 bytes long) and data (variable length). The header includes the IP addresses of the source and destination, plus other fields that help to route the packet. The data is the actual content, such as a string of letters or part of a webpage.
