Explanation

PAT (Port Address Translation), also known as NAT overload or many-to-one NAT, maps multiple internal IP addresses to a single public IP address by differentiating connections using unique port numbers. This is exactly the many-to-one translation described in the question. NAP (B) stands for Network Access Protection, a Microsoft health-policy enforcement framework unrelated to address translation. DNAT (C) is Destination NAT, which redirects inbound traffic to a specific internal host - the opposite of what is needed here. NAC (D) stands for Network Access Control, a security framework for enforcing device compliance before granting network access.
