Which of the following is true about IPv6?
IPv6 no longer supports broadcast addresses. Instead, it uses multicast addressing to achieve similar results. This architectural change helps in optimizing network traffic management and reducing unnecessary load.
Option A is correct. Reference : IPv6 does not implement the broadcast feature exactly as it exists in IPv4. However the same result can be achieved by sending the packet to the address ff02::1, reaching all hosts on the local network. Something similar to using 224.0.0.1 on IPv4 for multicasting as a destination. "IPv6 does not implement the broadcast feature exactly as it exists in IPv4.

IPv6 does not support broadcast addresses, but instead uses multicast addresses in this role. Multicast addresses support 16 different types of address scope, including node, link, site, organization, and global scope. https://www.juniper.net/documentation/en_US/junos/topics/concept/subscriber-management-dual-stack-ipv6-address-types.html#:~:text=IPv6%20does%20not%20support%20broadcast,,%20organization,%20and%20global%20scope.
