Using Rule 1 and 2 reduce the IPv6 addresses to their shortest form.FF00:ACAD:0000:0000:1234:0000:0000:0001
A
FF00:ACAD::1234:0:0:1
B
FF00:ACAD::1234::1
C
FF00:ACAD::1234:0000:0000:0001
D
FF00:ACAD:0:0:1234:0:0:1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Rule 1: Omit Leading 0s One way to shorten IPv6 addresses is to omit leading 0s in any hextet (that is, 16-bit section). This rule applies only to leading 0s and not to trailing 0s; being able to omit both leading and trailing 0s would cause the address to be ambiguous.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.
