Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) uses 128-bit addressing

It provides a very large number of unique IP addresses compared to IPv4

IPv6 format is written in hexadecimal, divided into 8 groups

Example: 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334

It was designed to solve the IPv4 address exhaustion problem
