FortiGate_Infrastructure_6.2_Study_Guide-Online (page 341). It says: "When DNS method is used, the browser first queries the DNS server to resolve the FQDN wpad.<local-domain>. The DNS server replies with the IP address where the PAC file is located. The browser downloads the PAC file from the URL: http://<pac-server-ip>:80/wpad.dat" Correct answer: C

Answer is C, because the browser is quering the DNS server to resolve the FQDN. The question isn't answering about DNS server reply.

When the DNS method is used, the browser first queries the DNS server to resolve the FQDN wpad.<local-domain>. The DNS server replies with the IP address where the PAC file is located. The browser downloads the PAC file from the URL: http://<pac-server-ip>:80/wpad.dat.

"When using DNS, the most widely supported resolution method, an entry is made in the local authoritative zone to map the name wpad (such as wpad.example.com) to one or more IP addresses. The browser is configured to automatically look in the following locations to find the WPAD configuration, which is in effect a PAC file, as described in PAC policy:" https://help.fortinet.com/fortiproxy/11/Content/Admin%20Guides/FPX-AdminGuide/600_Objects/607_Web-proxy-global.htm
