The operation performed is a bitwise XOR of the two given hexadecimal numbers. As XOR of two equal numbers is 0, we can observe that the first part of both numbers is the same. In the second part, the first number has 729d and the second number has 729e. The binary equivalent of these two numbers is 111001010011 and 1110010100110 respectively. XOR of these two will result in 1 at the end, so the final answer will have 729f in the second part. Therefore, the correct option is A.
