Explanation

In nslookup interactive mode, the correct syntax to change the query record type is 'set type=ns' (or 'set type=NS'). This instructs nslookup to retrieve NS (Name Server) records from DNS. The commands 'locate', 'request', and 'transfer' are not valid nslookup interactive mode directives. 'set' is the proper keyword used to configure query parameters within the nslookup interactive shell.
