Which of the following is true when describing a multicast address?

A Packets addressed to a multicast address are delivered to a single interface
B packets are delivered to all interfaces identified with the address. This is also called a one-to-many address
C A multicast address identifies multiple interfaces and is delivered to only one address. This address can also be called one-to-one-of-many
D These addresses are meant for nonrouting purposes,but they are almost globally unique, so it is unlikely they will have an address overlap

Correct Answer: packets are delivered to all interfaces identified with the address. This is also called a one-to-many address

Packets addressed to a multicast address are delivered to all interfaces identified with the multicast address, the same as in IPv4. It is also called a one-to-many address. You can always tell a multicast address in IPv6 because multicast addresses always start with FF.
