D Correct answer
Explanation

IPv6 address compression rules allow replacing consecutive zeros with double colon (::), but this can only be done ONCE in an address to avoid ambiguity. Options A, B, and C incorrectly use :: twice. Option D correctly compresses the second hextet (0:0000 becomes 0) and the zero block before 9C0, using :: only once.
