C Correct answer
Explanation

With a /27 mask (255.255.255.224), the subnet size is 32 addresses. The subnet starting at 172.16.134.64 would have network address 172.16.134.64, usable host range 172.16.134.65-94, and broadcast address 172.16.134.95. Therefore 172.16.134.64 is the network address, not a usable host address.
