Answer 1

Private IP addresses have specific address ranges that are not publicly routable. The ranges given in options 1, 2, and 3 are the correct private IP address ranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

The address ranges of the private IP addresses are:

1. 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
2. 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
3. 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
4. 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255

Out of the given options, only the first three ranges are the address ranges of private IP addresses. The other two options, 4) 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255 and 5) 172.32.0.0 to 172.63.255.255, are not private IP address ranges.
