Explanation

Server Discovery actively identifies and populates information about servers (hosts) on the network, so it writes to a HostDefinition building block - the structure that holds the actual defined data about a host. Mail Servers are a logical target for Server Discovery since discovering email infrastructure is a core use case.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (BB:HostReference: Mail Servers) - A Reference building block points to an existing definition; Discovery creates/updates the definition itself, not a pointer to it.
• C (BB:NetworkReference: DMZ Addresses) - Server Discovery targets hosts, not network segments, and again, a Reference block is read-oriented, not write-oriented for discovery.
• D (BB:NetworkDefinition: DMZ Addresses) - Still the wrong object type: discovering servers updates Host definitions, not Network definitions (which describe subnets or address ranges).

Memory tip: Use the phrase "Discovery Defines Hosts" - Server Discovery writes to a Definition (not Reference) block for a Host (not Network). References are lookups; Definitions are where discovery results land.
