You need to use link-local IPv6 addresses to perform multicasting. Which IPv6 prefix should you use?

The correct answer is A. FF00::/8. IPv6 multicast addresses have the first eight bits fixed at 1111 1111. Therefore the address prefix for all IPv6 multicast addresses is FF00::/8. Beyond the first eight bits, multicast addresses include additional structure to identify flags, their scope, and the multicast group.
