Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

To make IPv6 addresses a little less imposing, two rules were developed to make them easier to work with. Which is the rules?

A	Rule 1:Omission of the Leading 0s
B	Rule 2:Omission of the All-0 Hextets
C	Rule 2:Omission of the All-0
D	Rule 1:Omission of the Leading 0s & Rule 2:Omission of the All-0 Hextets

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Rule 1, called Zero Compression, omits a group of consecutive zeros and replaces them with a double colon (::). This can only be applied once per IPv6 address, otherwise, the shortened representation becomes ambiguous. Rule 2 omits leading zeros in a every group of hexadecimal digits.

Detailed explanation-2: -Specify IPv6 addresses by omitting leading zeros. For example, IPv6 address 1050:0000:0000:0000:0005:0600:300c:326b can be written as 1050:0:0:0:5:600:300c:326b . Double colon. Specify IPv6 addresses by using double colons ( :: ) in place of a series of zeros.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two ways that an IPv6 address can be additionally compressed: compressing leading zeros and substituting a group of consecutive zeros with a single double colon (::). Both of these can be used in any number of combinations to notate the same address.
