medium📝 Application Q13 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify the target IP address
Device A wants to send data to IP 10.0.0.2, which belongs to Device B.Step 2: Understand IP addressing purpose
Since IP addresses are unique, data sent to 10.0.0.2 will reach Device B only.Final Answer:
The data is sent to Device B because the IP matches. -> Option DQuick Check:
Unique IP ensures correct device receives data [OK]
Quick Trick: Data goes to device with matching IP address [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming data is broadcast to all devices
- Thinking IP addresses can be duplicated
- Believing data returns to sender by default
