The IP address 192.168.1.56 is within the private IP address range (192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255) and is appropriate for use in an internal network utilizing NAT (Network Address Translation). The other IP addresses provided (172.15.65.10, 175.16.20.3, and 193.167.35.4) are either public IP addresses or not in the private IP range suitable for an internal network using NAT.

If an application was previously running in a virtualized environment and is not launching after being installed directly on the base operating system, it's possible that the technician did not account for dependencies or configurations specific to the virtualized environment that are not present or are incompatible with the base operating system. This mismatch can prevent the application from launching properly.

When replacing a power supply in a computer, wearing an antistatic wrist strap is crucial to prevent static electricity from damaging the computer components. Static electricity can easily damage sensitive electronic components within the computer; therefore, using an antistatic wrist strap helps to ground the technician, mitigating the risk of electrostatic discharge. The other options provide general safety but do not address the primary concern of electrostatic discharge in this context.

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) is an interface protocol built especially for Solid State Drives (SSDs) to utilize the high-speed PCIe bus in computers. M.2 is a form factor that is commonly used for NVMe SSDs due to its compact size and direct connection to the PCIe interface, which is ideal for laptops. The 2.5" and 3.5" form factors are more commonly associated with SATA drives, and SD is a form factor used for removable flash memory cards, not for internal storage solutions like NVMe SSDs.
