Your company registers a domain name of contoso.com.
You create an Azure DNS zone named contoso.com, and then you add an A record to the zone for a host named www that has an IP address of 131.107.1.10.
You discover that Internet hosts are unable to resolve www.contoso.com to the 131.107.1.10 IP address.
You need to resolve the name resolution issue.
Solution: You add an NS record to the contoso.com zone.
Does this meet the goal?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Adding an NS record to the contoso.com zone can help in delegating the DNS resolution to another name server, which may resolve the issue if the current setup is not correctly configured. The original problem of name resolution might stem from misconfigurations, and adding an NS record can provide the necessary direction for queries. Option B is incorrect as it does not recognize the potential benefits of adding an NS record in this scenario.
