A.

C.
access-list 10 deny 192.168.160.0 0.0.31.255
Answer
D.
access-list 10 deny 192.168.0.0 0.0.31.255

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
The range of 192.168.160.0 to 192.168.191.0 is a block size of 32. The network address is 192.168.160.0 and the mask would be 255.255.224.0, which for an access list must be a wildcard format of 0.0.31.255. The 31 is used for a block size of 32. The wildcard is always one less than the block size.
