Which subnet includes the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address?

To determine which subnet includes the address 192.168.1.96 as a usable host address, we look at the CIDR notation and how it breaks down the address range into usable and reserved addresses.

Starting with the provided choice of 192.168.1.64/26, the subnet mask of /26 indicates that the first 26 bits are used for the network part of the address, leaving 6 bits for host addresses. This means the subnet can accommodate 2^6 (64) total addresses, but since one address is the network address and one is for the broadcast address, there are 62 usable host addresses available.

The range of this subnet starts at 192.168.1.64 and ends at 192.168.1.127. This includes the usable hosts from 192.168.1.65 to 192.168.1.126. Since 192.168.1.96 falls within this range, it is a valid usable host address in the subnet 192.168.1.64/26.

The other options either offer a subnet that does not encompass 192.168.1.96 or provide a subnet that doesn't allow for it as a usable address
