A
/48-65, 536 subnets
B
/52-4096 subnets
C
/56-256 subnets
D
/60-6 subnets
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -64-60 = 4, and 24 is 16, so there are 16 /64 subnets in a /60.

Detailed explanation-2: -In order to represent 64 subnets, we need 6 bits(2^6=64). Since Class B has 255.255. 0.0 as default network ID, when we use 6 bits for subnet mask, then we get subnet ID as 255.255. 252.0.

Detailed explanation-3: -Medium customers get a /56 prefix. That gives them 256 /64 subnets.
