Why each option

This question asks to identify the NetBIOS node type that exclusively uses UDP broadcast requests for name resolution.

Ab-node (type 0x01)Correct

A b-node (broadcast node) relies solely on NetBIOS broadcast messages over UDP for name registration and resolution, sending requests to all devices on the local network segment.

Bp-node (type 0x02)

A p-node (point-to-point node) uses a NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS), such as WINS, for name resolution, sending directed requests rather than broadcasts.

Cm-node (type 0x04)

An m-node (mixed node) initially attempts b-node broadcasts, but if that fails, it then queries a NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS).

Dh-node (type 0x08)

An h-node (hybrid node) first attempts to resolve names using an NBNS, and if that fails, it then resorts to b-node broadcasts.
