A. B. C. D.D
The IPv4 loopback address 127.0.0.1 is used to test the network interface card (NIC) of a device by sending traffic to the device itself. In IPv6, the loopback address is represented by the ::1 address, which is option D in the question.
Option A, 0::/10, represents the IPv6 default route, which is used when no other route matches the destination address.
Option B, 2000::/3, is an address block reserved for Teredo tunneling, which is a technology used to encapsulate IPv6 traffic over an IPv4 network.
Option C, ::, represents the unspecified address, which is used to indicate that an address is not known or has not been assigned.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option D, ::1.
