Answer: A

Explanation
The address 172.32.128.255 /18 is 10101100.00100000.10|000000.11111111 in binary, so this is indeed a valid host address.

Incorrect Answers:

B. This is the all 1's broadcast address.
C. Although at first glance this answer would appear to be a valid IP address, the /30 means the network mask is 255.255.255.252, and the 192.168.24.59 address is the broadcast address for the 192.168.24.56/30 network.
D. This is the all 1's broadcast MAC address
E. This is a multicast IP address.
