CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 197

Which of the following DNS record types allows IPv6 records to be resolved to DNS names?

Answer options

• A. PTR
• B. A
• C. AAAA
• D. SRV

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, AAAA, as it specifically designates records that hold IPv6 addresses. Option A, PTR, is used for reverse DNS lookups but does not directly resolve IPv6 addresses to names. Option B, A, is used for IPv4 addresses, and option D, SRV, is for service records, neither of which pertains to IPv6 address resolution.
