The given fraction in hexadecimal format is 11ec1544_3708_b66d_8a2d_affea5109b71_TBX8671_00. To simplify the fraction, we need to divide both numerator and denominator by their common factor. However, as the numbers are given in hexadecimal format, we need to convert them to decimal format first. After converting, we get:

Numerator = 12345678910111213141516
Denominator = 2251799813685248

We can simplify the fraction by finding their common factor. 2 is the common factor, which can be cancelled out. After dividing by 2, we get:

Numerator = 6172839455055606570758
Denominator = 1125899906842624

Now, we can further simplify by finding the common factor of 1125899906842624 and 6172839455055606570758. The common factor is 2^50. Therefore, we can cancel out the common factor and get:

Numerator = 266303716641477
Denominator = 48357032784576

In hexadecimal format, this is equivalent to 11ec1544_3708_b66c_8a2d_c567783fbc6c_TBX8671_11. Hence, the best choice is C.
