The statement is correct because the primary function of Domain Name System (DNS) servers is to resolve (translate) human-readable domain names (i.e., URLs) into machine-readable IP addresses. This is essential because while humans find it easier to remember domain names, computers and networking equipment use IP addresses to route data to the correct destinations on the internet.
