CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 268

Which of the following is a common use for NAT?

Answer options

• A. Automatically assigning network addresses
• B. Hiding the network portion of an IPv4 address
• C. Connecting multiple devices through a single public IP address
• D. Resolving alphanumeric names to addresses

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because NAT allows multiple devices on a private network to share a single public IP address for internet access. Option A refers to DHCP, not NAT; option B is not specific to NAT; and option D describes DNS functionality, which is unrelated to NAT.
