here is the question

Your router has the following IP address on Ethernet0: 172.16.2.1/23\displaystyle 172.16.2.1/23. Which of the following can be valid host IDs on the LAN interface attached to the router? (Choose two.)

A. 172.16.0.5\displaystyle 172.16.0.5
B. 172.16.1.100\displaystyle 172.16.1.100
C. 172.16.1.198\displaystyle 172.16.1.198
D. 172.16.2.255\displaystyle 172.16.2.255
E. 172.16.3.0\displaystyle 172.16.3.0
F. 172.16.3.255\displaystyle 172.16.3.255


my attemb
i know this IP 172.16.2.1\displaystyle 172.16.2.1 belong to class B\displaystyle B and the range of IP addresses in class B\displaystyle B is from 128.0.0.0\displaystyle 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255\displaystyle 191.255.255.255
so all option given is within the range
i'm confused☹️why some IPs is valid and some is invalid
