Answer 3

Heres the excerpt.

QUOTE
IP subnet design traditionally has not allowed discontiguous networks. A contiguous network is a single Class A, B, or C network for which all routes to subnets of that network pass through only other subnets of that same single network. Discontiguous networks refer to the concept that, in a single Class A, B, or C network, there is at least one case in which the only routes to one subnet pass through subnets of a different network.
