Why each option
A WINS server performs name resolution for NetBIOS names, which are typically short, non-fully qualified computer names.
A RAS (Remote Access Service) server enables remote users to connect to a network but does not perform name resolution as its primary function.
A WINS (Windows Internet Name Service) server is designed to resolve NetBIOS names to IP addresses, which are single-label, non-fully qualified names commonly used in older Windows network environments. WINS enables computers to locate each other on the network using these short names without relying on DNS for fully qualified domain names.
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server dynamically assigns IP addresses and network configuration settings to clients, rather than performing name resolution itself.
A NAS (Network Attached Storage) server provides shared file storage over a network and is not involved in name resolution services.
