The network 192.168.245.0/24 is split with VLSM for these LANs: A: 54 hosts, B: 37 hosts, C: 7 hosts, D: 16 hosts. Subnets are allocated from .0 upwards, the LAN with the most hosts first, each with the smallest subnet that fits. What is the fourth octet x of the network address of LAN C?

A: 54B: 37C: 7D: 16
x =
