Explanation
An IPv6 anycast address is a single address that can be assigned to multiple interfaces. For example, an IPv6 address is assigned to a multi-homed computer. A packet sent to an anycast address is delivered to the first available interface of a device. An anycast address is used to provide loadbalancing and automatic failover. Currently, anycast addresses are used only as destination addresses and can be assigned only to routers. Answer option A is incorrect. A unicast address identifies a single interface within the scope of the type of unicast address. Answer option B is incorrect. A multicast address identifies multiple interfaces. Answer option C is incorrect. The loopback address is used to test your network interface.
