CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 188

Which of the following is the SHORTEST way to write 2001:0000:0d58:0000:0000:0095:7565:0001 in proper IPv6 shorthand?

Answer options

• A. 2001::d58::95:7565:1
• B. 2001:0:d58:0:0:95:7565:1
• C. 2001:0:d58::95:7565:1
• D. 2001:0:0d58::95:7565:1

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as it correctly uses the double colon to compress the contiguous zero segments while keeping the remaining parts intact. Option A is incorrect because it incorrectly uses two double colons, which is not allowed. Options B and D are longer than the correct shorthand representation.
