Which option is not a valid method to assign the lowest-order 64-bit field of an IPv6 unicast address?

The correct answer is A. ARP. I concluded, and quickly confirmed that there's no such thing as ARP in IPv6 ?so how do hosts find each other on a network? During the course of my studies, I learned that many functions like this were wrapped under the umbrella of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, which runs on ICMPv6…

Explanation

I concluded, and quickly confirmed that there's no such thing as ARP in IPv6 ?so how do hosts find each other on a network? During the course of my studies, I learned that many functions like this were wrapped under the umbrella of IPv6 Neighbor Discovery, which runs on ICMPv6. The function of ARP is replaced in IPv6 by Neighbor Solicitation messages. I'd like to deep dive for a minute or two and explain exactly how this works.
