Which of the following can be used to segment traffic into two or more networks?
The correct answer is C. VLAN. The question asks for a technology that segments network traffic into multiple distinct networks. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) provide the capability to logically divide a physical network into separate broadcast domains.

Why each option
The question asks for a technology that segments network traffic into multiple distinct networks. Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) provide the capability to logically divide a physical network into separate broadcast domains.
Load balancing distributes network traffic across multiple servers to improve performance and availability but does not segment traffic into separate logical networks.
A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a network architecture that creates a perimeter network to protect an internal LAN from external threats, rather than segmenting traffic within a network itself.
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) allows a single physical network switch to be logically partitioned into multiple separate broadcast domains. This segmentation isolates traffic between different groups of devices, enhancing security and improving network performance by reducing broadcast traffic within each segment.
DNS (Domain Name System) is used for translating domain names to IP addresses for name resolution and does not segment network traffic.
