Why each option
To correctly direct users to the intended website, the CNAME record in the DNS configuration should be modified.
A CNAME (Canonical Name) record in DNS creates an alias that points one domain name to another canonical domain name. If users are not reaching the correct website, it indicates the current CNAME alias is likely pointing to an incorrect target, and modifying it to the correct canonical name will resolve the redirection issue.
A PTR record (Pointer record) is used for reverse DNS lookups, mapping an IP address to a domain name, and does not affect how a domain name resolves to a website.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings synchronize device clocks but have no direct bearing on resolving a domain name to its correct website.
A TXT record is a general-purpose record for descriptive text, often used for email authentication or site verification, and deleting it would not resolve a website connectivity issue.
