A Correct answer
Explanation

IPv6 link-local addresses always start with FE80::/10 prefix (FE80 to FEBF). They are automatically configured on every IPv6 interface and are used for communication on the local link only. The address FE80::1324:ABCD is a valid link-local address. Options B and C appear to be global unicast addresses (2001::/16). Option D is a full global unicast address without the link-local prefix.
