128 host cannot possible because 2^7=128 from 128 two of them will not be used that is 2^7-2 is possible.
Similarly 256=2^8 and 64=2^5 will not be used.
So option B is correct because 2^8-2=254

256 host are there in that 0 can't be used and 127 is loop back address so out of 256-2=254 hosts are attached to each of the local area networks at your site.

Valid host = 2^h - 2.
So based on the formula, only 254 hosts can be a valid number, 128, 256, and 64 can not be the answer (b/c all of them are only 2^h).

Every host in a network has a COMMON NETWORK ADDRESS and BROADCAST ADDRESS that is used to address all hosts. So, the 254 answer is appropriate here.

254.
Because first IP address used for subnet id and last ip address for broadcast, so 256-2= 254 are assigned to hosts.
