Well, since I'm not a qualified psychiatrist I don't want to comment on =
your mental
health, but there is a correct answer here.  If we go to binary it all =
becomes clear.

The /19 means that the first 19 bits are network/subnetwork bits and the =
remaining 13
bits are host bits.  Therefore our mask would look like this:
11111111.11111111.11100000.00000000

Since the first two octects are identical, we can dispense with them and =
concentrate on
the first 3 bits of the third octet and the remaining host bits.

Our subnet addresses would be as follows:

X.X.00000000.00000000 =3D X.X.0.0 Hosts =3D X.X.0.1 - X.X.31.254 Bdcst =3D =
X.X.31.255*
*Assumes Subnet Zero Allowed
X.X.00100000.00000000 =3D X.X.32.0 Hosts =3D X.X.32.1 - X.X.63.254 Bdcst =
=3D X.X.63.255
X.X.01000000.00000000 =3D X.X.64.0 Hosts =3D X.X.64.1 - X.X.95.254 Bdcst =
=3D X.X.95.255
X.X.01100000.00000000 =3D X.X.96.0 Etcetera, Etcetera....
.
.
Etcetera (You get the picture)

>From this you can see that:
answer A is the "wire" address of the 32 subnet
answer B is the "wire" address of the 64 subnet
answer C is the Broadcast address of the 32 subnet
answer D falls within the valid host range for the 64 subnet and is =
correct.
