Solution

The correct answer is: They remain unchanged, even while passing through routers.

Explanation: When a payload of data is passed through a network of routers to travel from a source host to a destination host, the IP source and destination addresses in the IP header remain unchanged. This is because the IP addresses are used to ensure that the data reaches the correct destination. If the IP addresses were to change at each router, the data could potentially be sent to the wrong location. Therefore, the IP addresses remain constant to ensure accurate delivery of data.
