Explanation:
CNAME (canonical name) is a resource record that creates an alias or an alternate DNS domain name
for a specific hostname. This resource record is generally used with virtual servers that point to
several servers that offer network load balancing in order to distribute work.

source of information for a DNS domain or zone.

LDAP servers or domain controllers.

A is incorrect. MX (mail exchanger) is used to specify which mail exchanger to contact for a
specified domain and in what order to use each mail host.
