Which simplified IPv6 address is the same as the IP address 2001:0000:1000:0000:0000:cbff:0020:0001/64?

A. B. C. D.C
The IPv6 address 2001:0000:1000:0000:0000:cbff:0020:0001/64 can be simplified by compressing leading zeroes and consecutive blocks of zeroes. The compressed format uses double colons (::) to represent the consecutive blocks of zeroes only once. However, the compressed format can only be used once in an IPv6 address.
Here's how to simplify the IPv6 address:
Step 1: Remove leading zeroes from each block 2001:0:1000:0:0:cbff:20:1/64
Step 2: Compress consecutive blocks of zeroes using double colons 2001:0:1000::cbff:20:1/64
Therefore, the simplified IPv6 address is C. 2001:0:1000::cbff:20:1/64.
Option A (2001::1::cbff:2:0001/64) is incorrect because the double colons should only be used once to compress consecutive blocks of zeroes.
Option B (2001::1000::cbff:20:1/64) is incorrect because the double colons should only be used once to compress consecutive blocks of zeroes. Also, the address has an extra block between "2001" and "cbff", which is not present in the original address.
Option D (2001:0:1:0:0:cbff:2:1/64) is incorrect because it has an extra block between "2001" and "cbff", which is not present in the original address.
