Explanation
Correct answer is C. DNS (Domain Name System).
DNS is responsible for translating human-readable hostnames (e.g., www.example.com) into IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1), which are needed for devices to communicate over the internet.
Explanation of other options:
-
AAA: Refers to Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting, which is related to security and access control, not translating hostnames.
-
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): Assigns IP addresses to devices on a network dynamically but does not translate hostnames to IP addresses.
-
UTM (Unified Threat Management): Refers to an all-in-one security appliance that protects networks from various threats but is not involved in translating hostnames.
