Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) allows a Windows PC to automatically assign itself an IP address in the range of 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254 when it's unable to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. This feature is particularly useful in situations where the PC cannot connect to the network or when DHCP services are unavailable. While APIPA addresses are not routable and thus not suited for large networks, they enable basic networking functionality for small ad-hoc or local networks.
