APIPA stands for Automatic Private IP Addressing. It is a feature in Windows operating systems that allows a computer to automatically assign itself an IP address within a certain range (169.254.0.1 to 169.254.255.254) if it cannot get an IP address from a DHCP server. Option D is the only one in this range and hence is a valid APIPA address. Options A, B, and C are all in the private IP address ranges but they are not in the APIPA range.
