A technician is configuring public DNS so that users who enter www.example.com reach the company's new web server. The server has only an IPv4 address. Which DNS resource-record type should the technician create to map the fully qualified domain name directly to that address?
CNAME record
MX record
A record
AAAA record
An A record (Address record) stores a 32-bit IPv4 address and is used to map a hostname to that address for client lookups. AAAA records perform the same task for IPv6, MX records designate mail exchangers, and CNAME records create aliases that point one name to another hostname-not to an IP address-so they cannot directly map www.example.com to the server's IPv4 address. Therefore, the A record is the correct choice.
