Broadcast

Unicast
|

Multicast

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike IPv4, IPv6 doesn’t have broadcast addresses; it only has unicast and multicast addresses.
Detailed explanation-2: -A packet sent to a multicast group always has a unicast source address. A multicast address can never be the source address. Unlike IPv4, there is no broadcast address in IPv6. Instead, IPv6 uses multicast, including an all-IPv6 devices well-known multicast address and a solicited-node multicast address.
Detailed explanation-3: -ANSWER. Since within IPv6 there is no more concept of broadcasting, instead you can send a multicast packet to all network nodes in a local LAN network by using a specific IPv6 address prefix as the destination address, which is defined in RFC4291.
