Answer Description

The correct answer specifies a specific range of IP addresses from 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254, which are designated for automatic assignment by the host in the event that DHCP server communication is unsuccessful. This range is within the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet, reserved specifically for this purpose by networking standards to prevent IP conflicts with addresses assigned elsewhere.
