    "Internet routing tables" rules out A and B as 10.0.0.0/8 is defined private as part of RFC 1918 and is never routed by Internet routers; 200.x.x.x is a class C address space which has a mask of 255.255.255.0 by default, so C isn't a summarization; D is the answer and summarizes 256 class C's or ~65k hosts.
