Which of the following is the most likely cause for a computer to have an IP address of 169.254.110.14?
  1. The address has been configured manually.
  2. The subnet mask of the address is 255.255.0.0.
  3. There is no DHCP server issue on the network
  4. A static address is assigned to the computer.
Explanation
Answer - C - The most likely cause for a computer to have an IP address of 169.254.110.14 is that there is no DHCP server issue on the network.

Key Takeaway: APIPA or Automatic Private IP Addressing is a DHCP failover mechanism on Microsoft Windows operating systems. With APIPA, DHCP clients can obtain IP addresses when DHCP servers are nonfunctional. When a DHCP server fails, APIPA allocates addresses in the private range 169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254. The clients update their addresses automatically when the DHCP server is again able to service requests.
