A - it works with public or private addresses and can be anywhere in a network.
Interesting question. Answer A is right. However, the question itself has a *Ihidden* agenda. It *assumes* that the purpose of NAT (technically) is to
*hide* something. Certainly that is one potential justification for using NAT, but, there are many other reasons. How 'bout, to save money by not needing to purchase more public IPs, for ease of administration with only one outside facing IP (could be internet could be another LAN segment), to allow email filtering on only one IP rather than tons of connected clients, etcetera.I just find it interesting the way the question was phrased, as if the only reason to use NAT was to "hide" something.

We used NAT routers in each training room - while the routers WAN port was connected to our DMZ network, the routers isolated each class from the other and still provided each class to the services in our DMZ.
NAT routers are a great way to isolate groups/locations from each other.
