34. What service is used to translate domain names to IP addresses?DNSSMBNFSNIS

Answer

The service used to translate domain names to IP addresses is DNS (Domain Name System).

Explanation:

• DNS plays a critical role in the functionality of the internet by converting human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into numerical IP addresses (like 192.0.2.1) that computers use to identify each other on the network.
• Without DNS, users would have to remember the numerical IP addresses of websites, which is impractical.

The other options provided:

• SMB (Server Message Block): A network file sharing protocol.
• NFS (Network File System): A distributed file system protocol.
• NIS (Network Information Service): Used for distributing system configuration data.

Thus, the correct answer is DNS.
