Why each option

DNS and WINS both provide hostname-to-IP resolution, but for different name types - DNS for FQDNs and WINS for NetBIOS names.

ANTP

NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronizes clocks across network devices and performs no name-to-IP resolution.

BNAT/PAT

NAT/PAT translates private IP addresses to public addresses and does not resolve hostnames to IPs.

CDHCP

DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to hosts but does not resolve hostnames to IP addresses.

DDNSCorrect

DNS (Domain Name System) resolves fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) to IP addresses and is the primary name resolution protocol used on the internet and modern networks.

EWINSCorrect

WINS (Windows Internet Naming Service) resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses, providing name resolution for older Windows environments that rely on NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

FLDAP

LDAP is a protocol for accessing directory services and does not itself perform hostname-to-IP resolution.
