Question restatement: What does the IP address 192.168.1.160/27 represent?

Option a: Broadcast Address. A broadcast address is the last address in the subnet range, used to reach all hosts in the network. For a /27 subnet, the broadcast would be 192.168.1.191 in this block (192.168.1.160/27 covers 192.168.1.160–192.168.1.191). Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option b: MAC Address. A MAC address is a hardware identifier at the data-link layer, formatted as six octets like 00:11:22:33:44:55. It has no relation to IPv4 subnet notation or CIDR prefixes. This makes the option incorrect.

Option c: Multicast Address. Multicast addresses in IPv4 are typically in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The given address 192.168.1.160 is in the private 192.168.0.0/16 space and not in the multicast range, so this is not a multicast address. This option is incorrect.

Option d: Network address. A /27 subnet mask corresponds to 255.255.255.224, defining a block of 32 addresses. The address 192.168.1.160 with /27 is the network identifier for that block, i.e., the network address. Since 192.168.1.160 is the first address in the 192.168.1.160/27 block, this is the correct interpretation of the CIDR notation here.

Summary: Among the choices, only the network address appropriately matches the CIDR 192.168.1.160/27, while the others describe different concepts (broadcast, MAC, multicast) that do not apply to this IP/subnet combination.
