A. access-list 10 deny 172.16.48.0 255.255.240.0

B. access-list 10 deny 172.16.144.0 0.0.7.255

C. access-list 10 deny 172.16.64.0 0.0.31.255

D. access-list 10 deny 172.16.136.0 0.0.15.255

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

First, you must know that a /21 is 255.255.248.0, which is a block size of 8 in the third octet. Counting by eight, this makes our subnet 144 in the third octet, and the wildcard for the third octet would be 7 since the wildcard is always one less than the block size.
