Which of the following provides name resolution on the Internet?

A.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

B.
DNS (Domain Name Service)

C.
WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)

D.
NAT (Network Address Translation)

Explanation:
The internet uses host names. DNS is responsible for host name resolution.
Incorrect Answers:
A: DHCP is responsible for automating the assignment of IP configurations to computer systems
on a TCP/IP network. It is not used for name resolution.
C: WINS provides NetBIOS name resolution, not host name resolution.
D: NAT allows multiple private IP addresses to be mapped to a single public IP address, and
allows hosts on a private network to connect to the Internet. It does not provide name
resolution.References:David Groth and Toby Skandier, Network+ Study Guide (4th Edition),
