For setting up a private network, the IP address range should be one that is reserved for private use. The range 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 falls within the set of IP addresses designated for private networks according to RFC 1918. This range is not routable on the public internet, making it ideal for a private network setup on a retail router. References: CompTIA A+ Core 1 Exam Objectives Section 2.5: Given a scenario, install and configure basic wired /wireless SOHO networks.

The user should configure a private network using one of the reserved IP address ranges specified for private use by RFC 1918. These ranges are: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 Option B falls within the second range (172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255), which is commonly used for private networks. Therefore, the correct answer is: B. 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
