Answer»

Correct choice is (a) 6

Easy explanation: A /29 (255.255.255.248), regardless of the class of address, has only 3 host bits. Six hosts are the maximum number of hosts on this LAN, INCLUDING the router INTERFACE. Out of the 8 addresses POSSIBLE with the host bits, the first and the last address are for the subnet id and broadcast address respectively.
