Yes, the correct answer is E, the reason is because Ripv1 only supports fixed length masks,the network should use 192.168.17.x/27 to adhere to the current ip address plan.This leaves 2 answers E and F, F is already used on Fa0/1 Mafld,this leaves E.

Looks like they want each LAN segment to be on their own subnet. You're doing blocks of 32 for a /27 I believe. If you do .17.17 that LAN segment that connects both serial interfaces will be on it's own subnet. The other addresses probably wouldnt be used because they were not type C addresses??
Just my guess....
