Solution

The feature of IPv6 that most directly increases the scalability of the Internet is (Choice C) Each IPv6 address is a 128-bit number. That means there are ( ) possible addresses for Internet-connected computing devices. This is because the increase in the number of possible addresses allows for more devices to be connected to the Internet, thus increasing its scalability.
