Solution

The correct answer is a. The packet has not been fragmented. The D flag (Don't Fragment) in an IP packet is set to 1 to indicate that the packet should not be fragmented, regardless of its size. If the packet is too large to be transmitted in one piece over the network, and the D flag is set, the packet will be dropped.
