Answer / Explanation:

195.200.0.0/16

Note: Class C address can not be assigned a subnet mask of /16 because class c address has 24 bits assigned for network part.

2ⁿ = number of subnets

where n is additional bits borrowed from the host portion.

2ˣ - 2 = number of hosts

where x represent bits for the host portion.

Assuming we have 195.200.0.0/25

In the last octet, we have one bit for the network

number of subnets = 2¹ =2 network addresses

number of host = 2⁷ - 2= 126 network addresses per subnets
