Explanation

The standard IPv6 global unicast address structure consists of a 48-bit global routing prefix allocated by registries, a 16-bit subnet identifier managed by the local network administrator, and a 64-bit interface identifier. The other options specify incorrect bit-length allocations that do not conform to this standard 128-bit architecture.
