When configuring a static route on router R2, which next hop address should be used to reach a host on a 192.168.1.0/27 network?

To determine the appropriate next hop address for reaching a host on the 192.168.1.0/27 network, it's essential to understand the context of the network topology and the addresses in use. The subnet mask of /27 indicates that the 192.168.1.0 network accommodates IP addresses ranging from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.30, with 192.168.1.0 reserved for the network itself and 192.168.1.31 reserved as the broadcast address.

When configuring a static route, the next hop address should correspond to an immediately reachable device that can route traffic toward the target network.

The choice of 10.2.3.3 as the next hop suggests that it is the appropriate address within the routing context of router R2. This means that router R2 can use 10.2.3.3 to forward packets destined for any host within the 192.168.1.0/27 network effectively.

The other address choices, while they may belong to a different segment of the network, are either not relevant for reaching the 192.168.1.0/27 network or do not connect R2 in
