Final answer:

To find the binary format of a decimal IP address, each decimal octet is converted into an 8-bit binary number. None of the given options are correct as they contain octets with fewer than 8 bits, and the full decimal IP address was not provided for accurate conversion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is about converting a decimal IP address to its binary format. To convert a decimal IP to binary, each decimal segment (octet) should be converted to its 8-bit binary equivalent. The decimal IP address consists of four octets, with each octet separated by a period.

For example, to convert an IP address such as 192.168.10.1 to binary, you convert each decimal value independently. Here's how you convert each octet:

  • 192 in binary is 11000000.
  • 168 in binary is 10101000.
  • 10 in binary is 00001010.
  • 1 in binary is 00000001.

Hence, the binary equivalent of the decimal IP 192.168.10.1 is 11000000.10101000.00001010.00000001.

The options provided (A, B, C, D) are not complete binary octets, which means they do not contain 8 bits each. To find the correct binary format for any of the decimal IP addresses given in the options, we would need the complete decimal IP address, which isn't provided in the question.
