Why each option

The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating human-readable Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDNs) into numerical IP addresses.

ADHCP

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) servers assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to client devices, but they do not translate FQDNs to IP addresses.

BWINS

WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) is an older name resolution service primarily used to resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses on Windows networks, not FQDNs.

CDNSCorrect

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is specifically designed to resolve FQDNs, such as "www.example.com", into their corresponding IP addresses, like "192.0.2.1". This critical service enables users and applications to access network resources using memorable names instead of numerical IP addresses.

DNTP

NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers synchronize the clocks of computers over a network, ensuring accurate timekeeping.
