I’m a bit confused; I thought NSCD.CONF was related to caching DNS queries, but I’m not sure how it fits in with hostname mapping.

Okay, I've got this. The HOSTS file is the one that maps hostnames to IP addresses in an operating system. I'm confident that's the right answer here.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know it's related to networking, but I can't recall the specific file name off the top of my head. I'll have to use the process of elimination to try and figure this out.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I know it has something to do with mapping hostnames, but I can't remember the exact file name. I'll have to think this through carefully.

D) HOSTS file, no doubt about it. It's the go-to for translating those tricky domain names into the numbers our machines can actually understand.

HOSTS file, easy peasy. Gotta love how it makes our online lives more efficient. Puts the 'host' in 'hostname', am I right?
