C is the "BEST" answer (the most traditional). However any of the class A 127 address would work. Try 127.0.0.1 and then 127.0.0.255 (both valid 127 addresses) and compare the PING output. Interesting.

127.0.0.0 should be loop back IP Address.

C is the answer.
Loop back address is 127. So that 127.0.0.0 is network Id and 127.0.0.255 is broadcast id. We can check through first valid ip (ie) 127.0.0.1.
