Why each option
A DNS server is responsible for translating human-readable domain names into machine-readable IP addresses, which is fundamental for accessing network resources like websites.
A DHCP server assigns IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to client devices, but it does not perform domain name resolution.
A DNS server (Domain Name System server) is specifically designed to resolve domain names to their corresponding IP addresses, enabling devices to locate and communicate with network resources over the internet or a local network.
A web server hosts website content and delivers it to web browsers, but its primary function is not to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) are logical network segments; 'VLAN server' is not a standard server type that resolves domain names.
