Answer 1

A) Internet Protocol address

Step-by-step explanation:

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a 32-bit number typically rendered in decimal as four fields ranging in value from 0–255, separated by periods. The number given matches that pattern, so could be considered to be an IP address. ICANN manages a registry that associates such addresses with domain names.
