The DNS would translate any Domain name into ___________. A: IP B: URL C: Binary D: Hex

The Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into machine-readable IP addresses (such as 192.0.2.1). This process is crucial because while domain names are easier for humans to remember, computers interact using IP addresses.

Therefore, among the options provided:

• A: IP (Correct)
• B: URL (Incorrect: A URL includes the domain name but is not the direct result of DNS)
• C: Binary (Incorrect: While IP addresses can be expressed in binary, DNS does not directly translate to binary)
• D: Hex (Incorrect: Similar to binary, this is not the direct translation by DNS)

Final Answer

The DNS would translate any domain name into A: IP.
