D
00:39:9e:00:ad58:bfc5:4024:73
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unspecified Address-::/128 An IPv6 address with all 128 bits set to zero is called the unspedified adddress (which correspond to 0.0. 0.0 in IPv4). This address should not be assigned to any host and it should only be used as the source address by initializing host before it has learned of its own address.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is 128 bits. The length of IPv6 is 128 bits. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the latest IP revision, developed as a successor to IPv4.

Detailed explanation-3: -IPv6 uses 128-bit (2128) addresses, allowing 3.4 x 1038 unique IP addresses. This is equal to 340 trillion trillion trillion IP addresses. IPv6 is written in hexadecimal notation, separated into 8 groups of 16 bits by the colons, thus (8 x 16 = 128) bits in total.
