Seems to me, I'm still learning, that the Class D subnet mask would be 224.0.0.0 or 1110 0000.0000 0000.0000 0000.0000 0000 in binary. The internet has been using classless subnets for a while now, so it may not be as relevant as it once was.
There isn't a standard subnet mask for class D. Class D is for multi-casting, and requires group membership, and other things. This link may help with that information:

The default subnet mask for a Class C network is 255.255.255.0. This is sometimes expressed as A.B.C.D/24 where the /24 represents the 24 bits of the subnet mask.
Used for multicast, the subnet mask is 224.0.0.0
255.255.0.0255.255.0.0 is the default for a class B address
255.255.255.0
i.p address, sub-net mask and default gateway
CLSM (Constant Length sub net Mask). Whenever we are Using Same Sub net Mask in entire Organization, that architecture Is Called CLSM in the Network.VLSM (Variable Length Sub net mask) in the Network. Whenever we are Using different-different sub net Mask in entire Organization, that architecture Is Called VLSM.
Ans : 255.255.255.0
255.255.255.0
Of the information supplied, 255.255.255.0 is the sub-net mask. It's address usually starts with 255. 172.16.12.0 seems to be the local IP address of your gateway/router.
No.

It is Almost same

The subnet mask within the TCP/IP configuration is used to distinguish the ? from the host address.
