In hexadecimal format, the numbers go from 0 to F, which is 16 values. Therefore, the remainder can be any value between 0 to 15, represented by numbers from 0 to F. Thus, the remainder is represented by a single digit in hexadecimal format. 
Looking at the last digit of the dividend, which is 3, and performing a short division, we can see that the remainder is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is 584 R2 in hexadecimal format, which is represented by choice C. Dividing the given hexadecimal number by 8 (which is equivalent to 1000 in binary) will shift the number to the right by 3 digits, resulting in the last 3 digits being dropped. Therefore, the answer is 11ebb7d6_6eba_4eb7_ad4c_11bf43a35163 divided by 8 is equal to 11ebb7d6_6eba_4eb7_ad4c_11bf43a3516, which is equivalent to 584R2 in base 16.
