Which statement accurately describes a characteristic of IPv4?

  • All IPv4 addresses are assignable to hosts.
  • IPv4 has a 32-bit address space.
  • An IPv4 header has fewer fields than an IPv6 header has.
  • IPv4 natively supports IPsec.

Explanation: IPv4 has a 32-bit address space, providing 4,294,967,296 unique addresses, but only 3.7 billion are assignable, a limit due to address reservation for multicasting and testing. IPv4 does not provide native support for IPsec. IPv6 has a simplified header with fewer fields than IPv4 has.
