Which of the following statements is true regarding the following /etc/resolv.conf file? search example.com nameserver 208.77.188.166 nameserver 208.77.188.167

The provided `/etc/resolv.conf` file has correct syntax for both `search` and `nameserver` directives.

The `/etc/resolv.conf` file does not specify localhost (127.0.0.1) as a nameserver; DNS queries would go directly to the listed nameservers in order.

`example.com` is appended only to unqualified hostnames (those without dots), not to all host lookups, as fully qualified domain names are resolved as-is.

The `search` directive in `/etc/resolv.conf` defines a list of domain names that the resolver will automatically append to hostnames that do not contain any dots. This means if you query for `webserver`, the resolver will first try `webserver.example.com`.

DNS resolvers typically query nameservers in the order they are listed in `/etc/resolv.conf` (208.77.188.166 then 208.77.188.167), not based on ping time or network latency.
