Answer 1

Answer:

B. also identifies other devices on TCP/IP network

• An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet.
• It allows data to be transmitted between devices on the internet, and enables devices to communicate with each other using a standard set of protocols.
• An IP address is typically represented as a string of numbers separated by periods  and there are two versions of IP addresses in use today: IPv4 and IPv6.
• IPv4 addresses are 32-bit numbers
• IPv6 addresses are 128-bit numbers and offer a much larger address space.
