Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 92

What file is used to translate host names to IP addresses?

Answer options

• A. host file
• B. Imhosts file
• C. dns file
• D. wins file

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, the host file, as it is specifically designed to map host names to their corresponding IP addresses. The other options are incorrect because 'Imhosts file' is a misspelling and does not exist, 'dns file' refers to a different system for resolving names, and 'wins file' is related to Windows Internet Name Service, which is not used for this function.
