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.
NTP (Network Time Protocol) synchronizes clocks across network devices and performs no name-to-IP resolution.
NAT/PAT translates private IP addresses to public addresses and does not resolve hostnames to IPs.
DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to hosts but does not resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
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.
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.
LDAP is a protocol for accessing directory services and does not itself perform hostname-to-IP resolution.
