Using Rule 2 (Omission of the All-0 Hextets), reduce the IPv6 addresses to their shortened 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: -In hexadecimal, 4 bits (also known as ‘’nibble”) are represented by a digit or character from 0-9 and a-f (10-15). This format reduces the length of the IPv6 address to 32 characters.

Detailed explanation-2: -The IPv6 address size is 128 bits. The preferred IPv6 address representation is: x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x, where each x is the hexadecimal values of the eight 16-bit pieces of the address. IPv6 addresses range from 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000 to ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff .
