That is because it was designed that way. A few big networks, a larger amount of medium-sized networks, and a lot of small networks.
The number of possible IP address decreases as one steps down from Class A to Class C IP addresses because the availability of usable hosts. There is a decrease in the number of usable hosts from Class A to Class C IP addresses.
out of all the classes, yes
License? Where do you get this? In a Class B network there are 2 to the 16th power addresses. Class B = 255.255.0.0 65536 addresses In a Class A network there are 2 to the 24th power addresses Class A = 255.0.0.0 16,777,216 addresses In a class C network there are 2 to the 8th power addresses Class C = 255.255.255.0 256 addresses Class A around 16 million Class B around 65,000 Class C is actually 254 NOT 256. IP addresses are leased and therefore the lessee is given a license to use that particular IP address.
class b, c, and d
How many possible host addresses are there in a Class A range?Class A range is 0 - 1270.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.0 are not "routable" IP addresses. One defines all networks and the other is the loopback. We have a total of 126 usable networks and 16,777,214 usable hostaddresses per network.
A class ip address offer the most number of host
Class B - 128 - 191
Classful addresses are no longer given out. Traditionally, this would require a Class B network, since it has a large enough range. A Class C network only has 256 addresses, but two adjacent Class C addresses would also work.Classful addresses are no longer given out.

A class C address.
When you add the Class A, B and C addresses together the the maximum number of individual networks on the internet is 2,113,604.
An IPv4 address with a first octet in the range of 128 to 191 falls within the Class B network range. This class is designed for medium to large-sized networks and supports up to 65,536 addresses per network. In binary, Class B addresses start with the bits "10," allowing for a significant number of host addresses while maintaining a reasonable number of available network identifiers.
254 - a class C subnet uses 8 bits for the hosts and 0 and 255 are reserved.
