A user tries to visit a website, but instead of the intended site, the page displays vmw.cba.com. Which of the following should be done to reach the correct website?

The correct answer is A. Modify the CNAME record. A CNAME (Canonical Name) record maps an alias to the correct fully qualified domain name (FQDN). If a user is redirected to the wrong hostname, correcting or updating the CNAME ensures the alias points to the proper domain.
