D. FF00::/12 - This block of IPv6 addresses is reserved for multicast, meaning that addresses within this range are used to send packets to multiple recipients simultaneously.

The IANA have reserved all IPv6 multicast addresses with a prefix of FF00::/8. Within this range, FF02::/16 is reserved for local-scope multicast addresses. The “FF” defines the destination as a multicast, the ‘0’ is within the organisation, and the final ‘2’ defines the multicast as having a scope of Link-Local.

Selected Answer: D
In IPv6, multicast addresses are used to send a single packet to multiple hosts simultaneously. The IPv6 address block that forwards packets to a multicast address rather than a unicast address is the FF00::/8 address block. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

D is correct. Don't get thrown off by the /12 prefix, that's FF00-FF0F, which are valid multicast addresses.
