A crossover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.
A rollover cable should be used in place of the straight-through cable.
The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.192.
A default gateway needs to be set on each host.
The subnet masks should be set to 255.255.255.0.

[A].	1 only
[B].	2 only
[C].	3 and 4 only
[D].	1 and 5 only
[E].	2 and 5 only

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

First, if you have two hosts directly connected, as shown in the graphic, then you need a crossover cable. A straight-through cable won't work. Second, the hosts have different masks, which puts them in different subnets. The easy solution is just to set both masks to 255.255.255.0 (/24).
