Correct answer & explanation
✓
10.1.25.1
The wildcard pattern '10.*.25' matches any value that starts with '10.' and ends with '.25', with any characters (including none) in between due to the wildcard '*'. Options A (10.1.2.25), C (10.1.25), D (10.2.25), and E (10.10.25) all start with '10.' and end with '.25', so they match. Option B (10.1.25.1) ends with '.1', not '.25', so it does not match the pattern. Therefore, option B is the value that would NOT be matched.
