Final answer:

The two correct statements about private IPv4 addresses are that they are assigned to devices within an organization's internal network and that any organization can use the 10.0.0.0/8 address. Statements B and C are incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Regarding the question of which two statements are correct about private IPv4 addresses, the following responses are accurate:

  • A. Private IPv4 addresses are assigned to devices within an organization's intranet (internal network).
  • D. Any organization (home, school, office, company) can use the 10.0.0.0/8 address.

In contrast, statement B is incorrect because Internet routers will not forward packets with a destination address that is a private IPv4 address; they are intended to be used within a private network only. Statement C is incorrect as well because the IP address 172.99.1.1 does not fall within the designated private IP address ranges, which are 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. Thus, the correct statements are A and D.
