Using Rule 1 and 2 reduce the IPv6 addresses to their shortest form.FE95:FC6C:C540:0000:0000:0000:0000:9800
A
FE95:FC6C:C540::9800
B
FE95:FC6C:C54:0:0:0:0:9800
C
FE95:FC6C:C540::98
D
FE95:FC6C:C540::0:0:9800
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The IPv6 addressing architecture allows you use the two-colon (::) notation to represent contiguous 16-bit fields of zeros. For example, you might abbreviate the IPv6 address in Figure 3–2 by replacing the two contiguous fields of zeros in the interface ID with two colons.

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.
