Given the above information, which of the following can be inferred about the above environment?

A. 192.168.1.30 is a web server.
B. The web server listens on a non-standard port.
C. The router filters port 80 traffic.
D. The router implements NAT.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Network address translation (NAT) allows you to share a connection to the public Internet via a single interface with a single public IP address. NAT maps the private addresses to the public address. In a typical configuration, a local network uses one of the designated “private” IP address subnets. A router on that network has a private address (192.168.1.1) in that address space, and is also connected to the Internet with a “public” address (10.2.2.1) assigned by an Internet service provider.
