Why each option

Network Address Translation (NAT) is configured on a router to translate internal private IP addresses to external public IP addresses, enabling multiple devices to share a single public IP.

ADMZ

A DMZ (demilitarized zone) is a subnetwork that exposes an organization's external-facing services to an untrusted network, but it doesn't primarily convert internal to external IP addresses.

BMAC filtering

MAC filtering is a security method that allows or denies network access based on a device's MAC address, not for IP address translation.

CQoS

QoS (Quality of Service) prioritizes network traffic to ensure performance for critical applications but does not perform IP address conversion.

DNATCorrect

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a method used by routers to remap IP address spaces. Specifically, it allows multiple devices on a private internal network, each with a private IP address, to share a single public IP address when communicating with external networks like the internet.
