Hello and thanks for your help on this.  Just need to know why the answer would be "d" IP address is incorrect.  Why not the default gateway is incorrect?  Since the computer is on another network they are trying to hit, I thought it would be the gateway...

 

A user cannot connect to the 192.168.1.0 network. Review the ipconfig results that follow
and select the best answer to explain why this has occurred.

I agree with you. I do not see anything in what was presented that would indicate that the address was wrong and that a likely cause of the issue would be wrong default gateway.

I agree that May be Gateway is also wrong. But maybe examiner was thinking that he didn't mention anything about VLAN or VLAN routing or routing. So the student should be understood that my both systems are on the same network. So he/she marked answer D is correct.  

But If you are a technical guy then there are many points where maybe he is wrong.
