Of the five possible IPv4 addresses, two can be assigned to a host computer:

B. 10.1.1.20 D. 192.168.10.15

Here's why:

A. 255.255.255.255 is a broadcast address, used to send a message to all devices on a network. It cannot be assigned to a host computer.

B. 10.1.1.20 is a valid IPv4 address within the private IP address range of 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255. This IP address can be assigned to a host computer.

C. 0.0.0.0 is a special IP address that usually means "this device" or "any device". It cannot be assigned to a host computer.

D. 192.168.10.15 is another valid IPv4 address within the private IP address range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. This IP address can be assigned to a host computer.

E. 292.10.3.4 is an invalid IP address because it is outside the range of valid IPv4 addresses (0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255). It cannot be assigned to a host computer.
