Explanation

Link-Local addresses (FE80::/10) serve as next-hop addresses in Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP) because routing protocols like OSPFv3 and EIGRPv6 use them for neighbor relationships, and they are confined to a single link meaning they cannot be routed beyond the local network segment. Multicast addresses (FF00::/8) have a unicast source sent to a group (one sender, multiple receivers) and are never used as a source address - a device can send TO a multicast group but never FROM a multicast address, as multicast addresses identify destinations only.
