Correct Answer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2705 141:0:0:0:15:0:0:1<\/strong>
\u2705 6384:1319:7700:7631:446A:5511:8940:2552<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Internet Protocol (IP) addresses come in two primary versions: IPv4<\/strong> and IPv6<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPv4 Addresses:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Use 32 bits<\/strong>, divided into four decimal numbers (octets) separated by dots, such as 127.0.0.1<\/code> or 192.168.2.15<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Each number must be between 0 and 255.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • IPv4 supports around 4.3 billion<\/strong> addresses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    IPv6 Addresses:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Use 128 bits<\/strong>, represented as eight groups<\/strong> of four hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334<\/code>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Hexadecimal digits range from 0\u20139<\/code> and A\u2013F<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • IPv6 allows for over 3.4\u00d710\u00b3\u2078<\/strong> unique IP addresses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Groups of consecutive zeroes can be compressed using ::<\/code> but only once per address.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n\n\n\n

      Evaluation of Each Option:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. 127.0.0.1<\/strong> \u2192 This is a valid IPv4<\/strong> loopback address, not<\/strong> an IPv6 address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. 343F:1EEE:ACDD:2034:1FF3:5012<\/strong> \u2192 \u274c Invalid IPv6<\/strong>. It has only 6 blocks<\/strong>, but IPv6 requires 8<\/strong> blocks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. 141:0:0:0:15:0:0:1<\/strong> \u2192 \u2705 Valid IPv6<\/strong>. It has 8 blocks<\/strong>, uses proper hex digits, and can also be compressed as 141::15:0:0:1<\/code>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. 6384:1319:7700:7631:446A:5511:8940:2552<\/strong> \u2192 \u2705 Valid IPv6<\/strong>. It has 8 blocks and all blocks contain valid hexadecimal digits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. 192.168.2.15<\/strong> \u2192 This is a valid IPv4<\/strong> address (private network), but not IPv6<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      6. 165.15.78.53.100.1<\/strong> \u2192 \u274c Invalid format for both IPv4 and IPv6. It has 6 blocks<\/strong>, which is incorrect for either type.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \n\n\n\n

        Summary:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Only the following are valid IPv6<\/strong> addresses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • 141:0:0:0:15:0:0:1<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 6384:1319:7700:7631:446A:5511:8940:2552<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Understanding the structure of IPv6 is essential for modern networking, especially as IPv4 addresses become increasingly scarce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
