Correct answer: ipv6 address 2001:EB8:C1:2200:1::331/64.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer compresses the IPv6 address efficiently following RFC 5952 guidelines. Leading zeros in each 16-bit segment (hextet) are omitted (e.g., 0EB8 becomes EB8, 00C1 becomes C1). A single :: can replace one or more consecutive hextets containing only zeros. In this case, 0000:0000 is replaced by ::. The address 2001:0EB8:00C1:2200:0001:0000:0000:0331 becomes 2001:EB8:C1:2200:1::331. Option 1 is incorrect because 2200 was incorrectly shortened to 22 and 1::331 implies 0001:0000:0000:0331 which is incorrect. Option 2 is incorrect because the first hextet 2001 was incorrectly shortened to 21. Option 3 is incorrect because it did not fully compress the consecutive zero hextets; 0000 was left uncompressed instead of being part of the :: notation.
