To simplify the given expression, we need to convert the hexadecimal numbers into binary and perform the XOR operation.

11ebb63d = 00010001111010111011011000111101
1b8b = 0001101110001011
34c0 = 0011010011000000
b851 = 1011100010100001
99626ed850e1 = 100110010110001001101110110110000101000011101000100001110000001

Performing the XOR operation on all the binary values, we get:
00010001111010111011011000111101
00011011100010110011001010100001
00110100110000000111010111000001
10111000101000011011001010001000
100110010110001001101110110110000101000011101000100001110000001
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10101110001001011011110111110101

Converting the resulting binary value back to hexadecimal, we get:
a72bdf95

Therefore, the simplified expression is:
a72bdf95_TB8475_11

Option C is the closest to the simplified expression. The last five characters of the string are TB8475_11, which should not be simplified. The first part of the string should be simplified according to hexadecimal rules. The first two characters, 11, should be kept the same. The next five characters, ebb63d, should be incremented to ebb63e. The next four characters, 1b8b, should be kept the same. The following four characters, 34bd, should be incremented to 34c0. The final eight characters, b85199626ed850e1, should be kept the same. Therefore, the simplified string is 11ebb63e_1b8b_34c0_b851_99626ed850e1_TB8475_11, which corresponds to choice C.
