Correct answer: B
The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is designed for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. Its core function includes authentication, allowing systems to verify user identities against a centralized directory database. Other options like routing, IP address assignment, and domain name resolution are handled by different protocols such as OSPF, DHCP, and DNS respectively.
