Answer: A

Explanation:

The default gateway is the IP address of the router or device that connects a network to another network or the internet. In the output below, the default gateway is 172.25.1.252, as shown in the line “Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 172.25.1.252”. The other IP addresses are not default gateways, but either local IP addresses (172.25.1.39 and 172.25.1.4) or subnet masks (255.255.255.0).
