Correct answer: D
Answer: DNS (Domain Name System) converts domain names into IP addresses. Key idea: DNS maps human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) to numerical IP addresses that computers use to route traffic. A DNS resolver (often provided by your ISP or operating system) queries DNS servers to find the IP address for a domain.
