Explanation
(C) NAT64 works in conjunction with DNS64 to enable IPv6-only hosts to communicate with IPv4-only servers. DNS64 synthesizes AAAA records (IPv6) for IPv4-only destinations, and NAT64 then performs the protocol translation at the network boundary. (A) is false - NAT64 translates between IPv6 and IPv4 addresses, not between unique local and global IPv6 addresses. (B) is false - NAT64 is typically a stateful mechanism that maintains translation state; it does not provide true end-to-end IPv6 communication since it performs address/protocol translation. (D) is false - dual-stack hosts already have native IPv4 connectivity and do not need NAT64 to reach IPv4 networks.
