Selected Answer: B
for resolving the issue of unexpected website redirections is to examine the localhost file entries (option B). The hosts file contains mappings of domain names to IP addresses, and any suspicious or unauthorized entries in this file could be causing the redirection. Investigating and correcting any problematic entries in the hosts file may help resolve the issue.
