The question would require knowledge of hexadecimal and conversion between different bases, which is beyond the scope of a simplification task. However, we can look for patterns in the given string. The last two digits "72" are a clue, as they are in base 10 and can be added together to get 9. Looking at the rest of the string, we can see that each pair of hex numbers (e.g. "11", "ec", "18") adds up to an even number. If we add up all of these even numbers, we get 64. Adding 9 to 64 gives us 73, which is closest to answer choice C) 8. Therefore, C) 8 is the best choice.
