Answer»

The correct choice is (b) Broadcasts have been eliminated and replaced with multicasts

Best explanation: In IPv6, there’s no longer any broadcast, SENDING one packet to a LARGE number of UNSPECIFIED hosts. There’s only MULTICAST, unicast and ANYCAST. In IPv6 all nodes are required to support multicast.
