Haha, this one's a piece of cake! The subnet mask is 255.255.255.192, no doubt about it. It's like asking a chef to bake a cake - easy peasy!

The subnet mask of the preferred destination route is 255.255.255.192, which is option C. This is because the IP address of the destination is in the 172.16.32.0/18 subnet.
