Which IPv6 address type begins with the prefix FE80::/10 and is used only for communication on the local link?

Explanation
Link-local IPv6 addresses use the FE80::/10 prefix and are auto-configured on every interface for local-link communication. Global unicast addresses are routable on the internet, while multicast uses FF00::/8. Link-local addresses are never routed beyond the local segment.
