Hmm, let me think... DNS, of course! Unless, of course, the answer is actually 42. You know, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything.

DNS all the way, baby! If it wasn't for that protocol, we'd be typing in IP addresses like it's the 90s. Ain't nobody got time for that!

DHCP? Really? I thought that was for dynamic IP assignment, not domain name resolution. Someone needs to go back to Networking 101.

No, SMTP is used for email communication, not for resolving domain names.

Ah, the age-old question of how the internet works. I'll go with DNS on this one. It's the backbone of the web, you know.

I'm not sure, but I think it's A) DNS too. It makes sense that it would be used for resolving domain names.

I agree with Julian. DNS is used to translate domain names like www.cisco.com into IP addresses.

DNS, of course! That's the protocol responsible for mapping domain names to IP addresses. How else would the browser find the website?

Without DNS, the browser wouldn't know where to find the website.

I think the correct answer is A) DNS because it resolves domain names to IP addresses.
