    Hi!

    The correct answer is 8.

    Explanation:

    The combinations of bits for hosts addresses are:

    .000

    .001

    .010

    .011

    .100

    .101

    .110

    .111

    The available address hosts in this case are:

    2³ = 8.

    The general method to get the available address hosts is:

    2⁷ = 128
