Correct answer: inside global.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is "inside global." In NAT terminology, an "inside host" is a device on the private (internal) network. When this inside host communicates with the outside (public) network, its private IP address is translated to a public IP address. This public IP address, which represents the inside host to the outside world, is called the "inside global" address. "Inside local" refers to the private IP address of the inside host before translation. "Outside local" is the actual IP address of an outside host as seen by the inside network. "Outside global" is the public IP address of an outside host as seen by the outside network. The terms "outside public" and "inside public" are not standard NAT terminology.
