Explanation
ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is the nonprofit organization specifically chartered to oversee the global domain name system (DNS), ensuring every domain is unique and that registration rights are enforced - making A the correct answer.
The distractors each refer to real but unrelated bodies: W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) develops web standards like HTML and CSS; IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force - note "IEFT" in option C is a misspelling) creates internet protocol standards like HTTP and TCP/IP; and RFC (Request for Comments) is not an organization at all, but a type of document used to propose and define internet standards.
Memory tip: Think "ICANN control names" - the acronym itself hints at authority ("I can"), and "Names" maps directly to its core job of managing domain names.
