During a network audit, it is discovered that Host Y$,$ which is supposed to communicate with devices in the $10\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0/16$ network, has the following configuration:

IP Address: $10\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}15\mathrm{.}200$

Subnet Mask: $255\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}0$

Default Gateway: $10\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}1$

Host Y can communicate with some devices but not others within the network.

What is the MOST likely cause of this selective communication issue?

###answer###

The subnet mask is too broad.

The network cable is damaged.

The default gateway cannot reach certain devices.

The IP address is outside the network range.
