A computer's IP address and its subnet mask is the address of (A) its own network

Explanation:

First let us understand what all the components of IP address are in order to justify the answer.

The ip address is separated into "two parts". The numbers are separated by two dots. The first two split up together represents the "network part" and the next two represents the "host part". If we analyze the IP address given in the question, its

192.168.25.1 and 192,168.25.254

The first component that is the network part of both the IP addresses is same. So, the given IP addresses belong to the same network. Thus we can wrap up saying that the given IP address is on the own network.
