The only difference between the given code and the options is the 9th character (9d96) which is being incremented in each option. Therefore, the simpler form of the given code would be to use the immediate next value of the 9th character, which is c4a8, making choice B the best option. Each hexadecimal digit can be represented by 4 binary digits. In the given expression, the last 2 digits are different for each choice, so we only need to focus on the first 18 digits. Comparing the first 18 digits of each choice, we can see that the only difference is in the 12th digit which is changing from 9 to c4a7, c4a8, c4a9 or c4aa in the choices A, B, C and D respectively. Since c4a8 is the closest value to 9 numerically, we can choose choice B as the best option.
