We can perform the subtraction by subtracting each pair of hexadecimal digits starting from the rightmost digit, borrowing if necessary. The result is 85,626 in decimal form. When performing hexadecimal subtraction, we borrow 1 from the leftmost digit in order to subtract a larger digit from a smaller one. In this case, we need to borrow from the leftmost digit of 11ebb7d6 in order to subtract 6 from d. This gives us the new value of 11ebb7d5. Continuing with the subtraction, we get:
11ebb7d5
- 6eb0d8b3

Then we need to subtract ad4c25af33dc0faa from TB828511. We need to borrow from the leftmost digit of TB828511 in order to subtract a larger digit from a smaller one. This gives us the new value of TB828510. Continuing with the subtraction, we get:
TB828510
- ad4c25af33dc0faa

85d09e6f2b033eeb
Converting this final result back to decimal gives us 85,626. Therefore, the answer is D.
