The host sends packets to its default gateway if the _____________ IP address is in a different subnet than the host.

(A) Source
(B) Destination
(C) Unicast
(D) Broadcast

Answer:

Destination is the correct answer. If the destination IP address is in a different subnet than the host, then the host sends packets to its default gateway. If IPv4 hosts send an IP packet to another host on the same IP network or subnet that is on the same LAN, then the sender sends the IP packet directly to that host.
