Why each option
A DNS server is responsible for translating human-readable computer names, such as domain names or hostnames, into numerical IP addresses that computers use to communicate.
Directory services, like Active Directory, manage user accounts, authentication, and network resources but do not primarily resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
DNS (Domain Name System) servers maintain a distributed database that maps domain names and hostnames to their corresponding IP addresses, enabling client devices to locate resources on a network.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) servers synchronize the clocks of computer systems over a network.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) servers dynamically assign IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to client devices.
