Which is the shortest possible notation of the following Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address?
2001:0DB8:0000:0001:0000:0000:0000:F00D

A.
2001:DB8::1::F00D

B.
2001:DB8:0:1::F00D

C.
2001:DB8:0:1:0:0:0:F00D

D.
2001:0DB8:0:1::F00D

Explanation:
The shortest possible notation of the IPv6 address 2001:0DB8:0000:0001:0000:0000:0000:F00D is
2001:DB8:0:1::F00D. The address is shortened according to the following rules:
Remove leading zeros.
Remove the consecutive fields of zeros with double colon (::).
The double colon (::) can be used only once.
The option 2001:DB8::1::F00D is incorrect because the double colon (::) can be used only once in the process
of shortening an IPv6 address.
The option 2001:DB8:0:1:0:0:0:F00D is incorrect because 2001:DB8:0:1:0:0:0:F00D can be further shortened
to 2001:DB8:0:1::F00D.
The option 2001:0DB8:0:1::F00D is incorrect because 2001:0DB8:0:1::F00D can be further shortened to
2001:DB8:0:1::F00D.
