You are responsible to configure a static route for the network 156.187.45.0/24 using the IP address 156.187.80.45 as the next-hop IP. Which command will you type to meet the requirement?

(A) ip route 156.187.45.0 255.255.0.0 156.187.80.45
(B) ip route 156.187.45.0 255.255.255.0 156.187.80.46
(C) ip route 156.187.0.0 255.255.255.0 156.187.80.45
(D) ip route 156.187.45.0 255.255.255.0 156.187.80.45

D is the correct answer. The correct syntax lists a subnet number, then a subnet mask in dotted-decimal form, and then either an outgoing interface or a next-hop IP address.
