Explanation:
Unique local addresses
Unique local addresses are IPv6 addresses that are private to an organization in the same
way that private addresses—such as 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x, or 172.16.0.0 –
172.31.255.255—can be used on an IPv4 network.
Unique local addresses, therefore, are not routable on the IPv6 Internet in the same way that
an address like 10.20.100.55 is not routable on the IPv4 Internet.
A unique local address is always structured as follows:
The first 8 bits are always 11111101 in binary format. This means that a unique local
address always begins with FD and has a prefix identifier of FD00::/8.

  1. Kevin says:

    I could solve this question by elimination.
    But could someone correct me if I am wrong?
    So I deducted:

    A.Starts with 20 so this is a Global address

    B. Starts with FF so a multicast address

    C.So C is the only logical explination

    D.Starts with fe80 so a broadcast address

      Not quite right on D
      FE80 is a link local address, so works on local LAN segment only and not routable to any other LANs or the Internet, can be used for broadcast but is not a “broadcast address” as it can still do Unicast (one to one) communications as well.
