The above question is incomplete as the options are not provided. The question has been reframed with the options as follows:

If a packet is to be delivered to all the hosts in a network, what kind of address should be used to specify the destination? 

a. Unicast address 

b. Broadcast address 

c. Anycast address

d. None of these 

ANSWER:

To specify destination, while delivering packet to all hosts in a network, b) Broadcast address is being used.

In unicast address, the host is single node, and anycast address is used when the number of host to whom data will be sent is not specified.

But in broadcast address network, all the hosts who are attached to the network will receive the data. Hence option is b is correct.
