Why each option
A DNS server is responsible for translating human-readable fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) into numerical IP addresses. This fundamental service enables computers to locate each other on a network.
A directory services server, like Active Directory, stores information about network resources and users, but it does not primarily translate FQDNs to IP addresses.
An NTP (Network Time Protocol) server synchronizes the time across network devices.
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server automatically assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to client devices.
A DNS (Domain Name System) server performs the essential function of resolving fully qualified domain names (FQDNs), such as www.example.com, into their corresponding IP addresses. This translation allows clients to connect to services using memorable names instead of numerical addresses.
