Correct Answer C: comp2.contoso.com only A record: Is used to map a DNS/domain name to an IP Ref:https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/dns-records/dns-a-record/ TXT records in a lot of cases get used to prove ownership of a domain, it has other purposes too. Reference: https://support.google.com/a/answer/2716800?hl=en#:~:text=TXT%20records%20are%20a%20type,and%20to%20ensure%20email%20security. PTR: A Reverse DNS lookup is used by remote hosts to determine who 'owns' an IP address. Reference: https://www.mailenable.com/kb/content/article.asp?ID=ME020206 CNAME records get used to redirect a DNS name or subdomain name to another DNS name or domain name or subdomain name. reference: https://support.dnsimple.com/articles/cname-record/ It would do good to read up on DNS record types and what they are used for, you will be lost if you don't have a basic understanding of it. https://ns1.com/resources/dns-types-records-servers-and-queries DNS is a key component In the IT field. I hope this info will help.

tested this, i say it is C - comp2.contoso.com ONLY. i created each of the records in my Azure DNS zone, a TXT record is not resolvable, an A record is resolvable, the CNAME is pointing to comp1 which again is not resolvable, and the PTR record should be an IP to a name, when i created the PTR record it wanted me to enter a domain name eg. contoso.com, not an IP address but i put the IP address in anyway, and it did not resolve. So i say it is C - comp2 ONLY

C must be correct. When you ping an IP address, the DNS resolver is not involved. The rest of the choices will require the DNS resolver. BTW the PTR record is wrong. Its value must be domain and not IP.

Comp3 is a CNAME for Comp1 - which refers to a TXT record. TXT records are not for name resolution. So neither, Comp1 and Comp3, do not translate to the right IP address, 10.0.0.5. And that's what the the DNS name that we're looking for here is supposed to do. C is the right answer.

Selected Answer: C
A record resolves ip address 10.0.0.5 to comp2.contoso.com. The only other name we could find is a alias name (CNAME) record. But there is no CNAME entries listed for comp2 so C is the answer

C is the answer. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-zones-records#record-types Each DNS record has a name and a type. Records are organized into various types according to the data they contain. The most common type is an 'A' record, which maps a name to an IPv4 address.

You can't ping a txt record even if the text in the record is formatted as an IP address Pinging a CNAME that points to a text record has the same result. You can't ping a PTR record Basically you can only ping an A record or a CNAME pointing to an A record (ignoring IP6)

Correct answer schould be Comp2.contoso.com AND Comp3.contoso,com, because comp in the end also resolves to wanted IP. but that aswwr is not there, so only C

This is not correct. COMP3.contoso.oom redirects to COMP1.contoso.com BUT COMP1.contoso.com is a TXT RECORD and so not pingable. So the only correct answer is C (COMP2.contoso.com)

C Comp 1 - TXT - it's just a text record used for domain validation, and is not used for resolving address Comp2 - A Record - the actual record for IPv4-to-Domain resolution (others are CNAME and AAAA). Comp 3 - CNAME - This is CNAMing to another computer and not Comp2 Comp4 - PTR - this record does not resolve to an IP. It resolves to a domain name. Only correct choice is 'C'

who said anything about nslookup? the question says "ping," so the txt and ptr records, and a cname pointing at a txt record, don't do us any good.
