C. Configure A records for the web server. The problem is likely related to DNS resolution, as the clients are able to ping the server's IP address but not access the web resource via URL. The other answers do not address this issue. Configuring A records for the web server will ensure that clients are able to access the web resource via its domain name.

Selected Answer: C

This is the key: No clients can access the server’s data via URL. This means that no A record was added to DNS.

Not being able to reach the URL is a big indication that there is something misconfigured within the DNS records, A records are used for IPv4 Internet address records.

I can understand why it is C, however if this was east-west traffic they could have just connected via putting the IP in the URL

Should be DNS lookup issue. But from the server's console it can access means it can resolve the FQDN?

Selected Answer: C

C. Configure A records for the web server. Based on the information provided, the server is able to communicate with client PCs via IP address, but clients are unable to access the server's data via URL. This suggests that the issue is with the DNS configuration.
